<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1804367, member: 66&quot;]Small correction, Coins typically have only had values on them since the late 18th century.&nbsp; Before that they typically had their values determined by size weight and composition.&nbsp; Tokens also frequently have values stamped on them as well.&nbsp; The real defining key for a coin is it is intended to widely circulate as money.&nbsp; A token tends to be a private issue and it many circulate locally but is usually meant to solve a local shortage and/or act as an advertising medium.&nbsp; Of course there are exceptions.&nbsp; A medal or medallion MAY circulate locally during a shortage but there is no intention for them to act as a circulating medium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
