Message:: [QUOTE="NewB, post: 1090050, member: 28966"]I have found some Mexican 1/2 Real coins as far back as the 1600s. As I understand they were used as currency in the US until our government deemed them unfit and stopped redeeming them for cash. I also found some "Tokens" and lost them again into the abyss of the mound of bags. I understand they were also used during the depression and far earlier during the Civil War in New Orleans. We live in the New Orleans area, as did my father inlaw and have many coins and tokens unique to the area in the collection. There are many items that will never be discovered by me, but to the trained eye "There's Gold in Dem Dare Hills". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
