<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2149501, member: 19463&quot;]We still have the problem we had when CT lumped ancient and world into one group but now the question is when &#039;World&#039; takes over.&nbsp; 1591 is well after I would call the start of modern.&nbsp; While I have a very few Islamic coins, that takeover is generally where I drop out because it consistantly meant a change in the coinage that was significant.&nbsp; Maybe it is my having no desire to learn Arabic?&nbsp; We seem to be moving toward World being defined as Euros and contemporary coins&nbsp; as was the original (and still posted) CT intent: &quot;Discussion relating to world coins. Including, but not limited to, the new Euro coins.&quot;&nbsp; I do have a few coins of the modern world; I even just got an 1806 half cent which was part of the world back then.&nbsp; Perhaps it would be best if those of us into&nbsp; &#039;Ancients&#039; would just ignore posts on modern coins and wait for one of you who finds them appealing to stumble on the question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
