<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Danjohnson, post: 2563343, member: 80228&quot;]I&#039;m of the same mind concerning colonial coins.

I think I read they were part of a patriotic drive by those wanting to get America involved in WW1? Don&#039;t know if that is true but I&#039;ve heard similar about that being the reasoning behind the change in American coinage in 1916.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
