<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dilip.Nair, post: 1755714, member: 56507&quot;]I think Rickipedia may have a point, Just cos it was minted in 100 years back doesn&#039;t make it a legal tender. As long as the same authority who minted the coin and Constitutional rules apply I think a One cent made a hundred years ago is still a legal tender on par with the common ones in circulation- Unless until That denomination has been phased out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my Opinion, I think it is a serious offense.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I base my argument on this below case : The Swiss francs and rappens</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces173.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces173.html" rel="nofollow">http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces173.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I read somewhere that a rappen coin that was struck in the 19th century was as good as the one minted today. ( The intrinsic values will be different considering that the metals in older coins had silver and the Value of the raw material itself greater than the denomination,&nbsp; The Federal Authorities of Swiss had to then pull out the coins , To avoid ppl extracting and selling the metal itself through Arbitrage, The other reason being the older coins would not fit into the Telephone booth orifice )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But All said, This is just my opinion and My logic may be completely wrong[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
