<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3310934, member: 46237&quot;]How do you define eras of coinage?</p><p><br /></p><p>For example for America you could define eras as Colonial, Early, Classic, and Modern. As to the cutoff dates for the eras, that&#039;s where it gets more difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to use the adoption of the closed collar as the beginning of Classic coinage for any country that I collect. That is not always a cut and dry date, as it isn&#039;t necessarily adopted for all denominations at the same time.</p><p><br /></p><p>For moderns you can look for the elimination of silver from circulating coinage, but that doesn&#039;t always work either. For example I think the Modern era for Hungarian coinage clearly started in 1946, but their last circulating silver issue was struck in 1994.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your thoughts on how you define eras in general, or for any countries you collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
