Sorry that I haven’t done one of these in a while. As a very novice coin collector, I had found three little newspapers stories from 100 years ago that have to do with coins around the world. A couple a pretty interesting. For example:
It appears the consumers in 1920 were demanding the government mint silver dollars. Apparently paper ones were becoming a thing of the past…back then.
100 years ago Australia decided to start minting square coins. There were some with very small production numbers and worth well into 5 figures to collectors today.
If you lived in Dawson Yukon Territory of Canada the smallest coin was the 25 cent piece. A proposal was rejected to mint coins of smaller value.
To all coin collectors…hope you enjoyed the news of coins from July 15th, 1920.
