As long as currency changes are tied to acts of congress in the US, change will remain either slow or nonexistent. Canada doesn't have this...
It is Meiji year 6, 明治六年, so, as said, 1873. There does appear to be a rare variety in that year, but otherwise it's pretty standard mintage and...
Yes, that's why I said "the vast majority of the time."
That would work great, but not all Japanese coins display a chrysanthemum. None of the modern circulating coins do and many of the older coins...

And here I thought this would be a thread on Japanese coins... :shifty: いいえ。。。ここは日本のコインがありません。:D
I write a lot of Amazon reviews (mostly for my own purpose so I can remember five years from now what a book was about) and they removed the...
I have yet to personally meet a single person in my everyday life who has an interest in coins, collecting, numismatics or anything. I have of...
I have all of the 1oz Kookaburras, including at least one 10oz. I buy the 1oz consistently every year and will continue to do so. Coincidentally,...
