<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 510534, member: 66&quot;]But a denomination is not an important factor as to whether or not&nbsp; something is a coin.&nbsp; Our early half dimes, dimes, quarter, quarter eagle, half eagle, and eagles did not have denominations.&nbsp; Denominations didn&#039;t start showing up on British coins until the mid 1800&#039;s.&nbsp; Many other countries didn&#039;t bother to put denominations on their coins either. So whether or not it has a denomination isn&#039;t important.&nbsp; What is is whether or not it was intended to circulateas money.&nbsp; Legal tender isn&#039;t important.&nbsp; Our early minor coinage had denominations, but were not legal tender, but they were intended to circulate as money and so they were/are coins.&nbsp; Early British minor coinage had neither denominations or legal tender status, and counterfeiting them wasn&#039;t even a felony, but they were intened to irculate as money and were/are coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
