<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1106828, member: 22143&quot;]I am not aware that any states actually produced coins because there were no reasonable sources of gold/silver until gold was discovered in Charlotte around 1802 or so.&nbsp; With that discovery a private mint opened in Charlotte and produced gold coins until the US Mint opened a branch there in 1838.&nbsp; The Mint opened a Charlotte branch for the same reasons I gave above.&nbsp; Transporting gold coins across the country was dangerous, slow, and very expensive.&nbsp; There was another mint opened in GA around the same time for the discovery there.&nbsp; At that point it was a non-issue.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However because the states didn&#039;t do it, doesn&#039;t mean they didn&#039;t have the right to do so as they contend now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
