<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ozland tiger, post: 350289, member: 3168&quot;]Ryan, the minting of the Peace dollar came about at the urging of Ferran Zerbe of San Francisco, a veteran numismatist who I believe was the official historian for the American Numismatic Association. (ANA) he presented a paper in 1920 at the ANA convention entitled, &quot;Commemorate the peace with a coin for circulation&quot;. That peace he was refering to being the end of world war I, the &quot;war to end all wars&quot;. The ANA recommended that a dollar design be used and that the dollar be a commemorative coin and be issued for general circulation. The big difference here is that commemorative coins as such were never intended for circulation, but ratherto help fund specific projects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
