I wanted to know who made/what was the 1st &quot;aluminum&quot; coin..., Knowing that the method for extracting aluminum was pattented in 1889 we pretty much eliminate any coins before that date.... the &quot;claim&quot; is the 1st was 1955 japenese yen... I Call BS <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> the oldest aluminum coins I can find are the 1893 &quot;so called dollars&quot; minted for the Columbian expo (several types including some in brass as well) My question is does anyone know of any earlier (I know aluminum was actualy extracted as early as 1880 but I can find no earlier alum coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p>here&#039;s my 1893 &quot;so called dollar&quot; as an example <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1469876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1469877[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
