<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2195730, member: 39&quot;]Guess that your first sentence answers your question. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; From what I know, the oldest still existing currency is the Pound (UKP), but the coins and notes are - as in pretty much every other country - taken out of circulation and lose their legal tender status. So the world&#039;s oldest coins in circulation can, at least from a legal POV, be found in the US. Now whether they would all be easily accepted is a different issue ...</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the oldest still circulating coin design, that would be the Swiss 10 rp/ct coin. You can, again at least in legal theory, find pieces from 1879 in circulation that look like this year&#039;s pieces design wise. However, those issues that had different specifications (brass 1918, nickel 1932-39) are not valid any more. The same applies to those old Swiss silver circulation pieces from 1/2 fr to 5 fr which today are not legal tender.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
