<p>[QUOTE=&quot;weifin, post: 800624, member: 20003&quot;]I agree with hontonai, there is no reason to use a western date model on all countries coins. I find it interesting in specializing in Taiwan coins they they still mostly use their own dating system beginning 1911 as year zero [not year 1--not like Japanese coins--hontonai please correct me on this if need be]. I have seen western dates beginning on NT$50 coins [1992 to present--no mintage for 1994-5] but not for the NT$20 [only circulated coin 2001--though available in uncirculated sets for each year since??]. Am told that beginning with the ROC year 100 [2011] there will be a new design for coinage! Should be interesting! Anyone with prevues? Don&#039;t forget, Taiwanese Chinese dates are written right to left (backwards to English) ending with the character for year. There are enough of us to date any postings if someone needs it.
