Let's see your exonumia!

Interesting piece, and a great find! As for the "missing" day, well, they thought of that: http://www.newearthcalendar.com/leap_year.shtml But the system is not that much of an advantage, I think.

"Rather than add a day periodically as with the Gregorian calendar, The New Earth Calendar adds a leap week each fifth year. Specifically, add one week after December (December 29-35) in each year evenly divisible by 5 or 400, but not in other years divisible by 40. To remember this, if the year ends in 5 or 0, it’s a Leap Year except for a couple times in a lifetime. This is easy to remember, but if a person were asked if 1982 was a Leap Year under the Gregorian calendar, most would probably not be able to give a quick answer."

This makes it more difficult than the current system. So in their quest to make it easier, they end up making it harder.
Isn't every year divisible by 400 also divisible by 5?
They are ending up adding 126 days for the missing 125 every 100 years.

 

Do you have any history on this piece, Muzyck? I like it.

Here is a nice looking set of 4 medalets for the bicentennial of the constitution

 

Thanks, Muzyck. An interesting story.

I just rec'd a few new tokens today, well new to me but really old ones. Early 1900's through 1930's. Some cost me the big skrills. But I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'! I'm not sure how many I can post on one page so I'll start another.

 

Here's a few more I rec'd a while back and a couple more from today.

 

No comment.

 

This showed up a couple daze ago...

 

I, personaly do not consider this coin to be exonumia. At least not the original 1929 issue, as they where in circulation.
But all the fantacy issues I do.

Perhaps we need to review the definition of exonumia, coin, token, etc.

 

Ah, that line can get really Fine at times.

 

Here is a token I got last fall. I learned alot with this one.
It's all about the Hot Dog.
