<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 287814, member: 39&quot;]What might add to the &quot;confusion&quot; is that words such as Gold or Golden are often used, even by mints/governments, when referring to such coins. I have heard or read the term &quot;Golden Dollar&quot; numerous times (guess that came up because the SBA dollars were, errm, silverish while the Sac bucks look, well, golden). Same thing here in Euroland - the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made of an alloy called Nordic Gold. Fortunately those are the mid-range pieces rather than the high value ones, so nobody would actually believe they contain gold. But a bigger piece made from that alloy ... can be confooosing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5fi06.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5fi06.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5fi06.jpg</a></p><p>(Ø 35 mm - fortunately this is a NCLT collector coin)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
