[QUOTE="czyznie, post: 3259189, member: 99861"]Hi there, I'm interested in late-circulating silver coins. I think we can distinguish those coins which were struck for circulation purpose, and those which werent, but were in circulation e.g. this 200 korun czech coin. USA is not even close to the last silver coins. Coins i know about(except of mentioned above): - Poland- 50 000 zlotych 1988 Pilsudski- 1 million pcs(pretty low mintage but it circulated) - Hungary- 200 forint 1992-1994; National Bank, Ferenc Deak, each about 6 millions pcs. - Latvia- 10 latu 1993 Proclamation of republic(i've seen a little worn ones) - Germany- 10 mark and 10 euro coins- usually minted more than 1.5 million pcs - Portugal: 500 and 1000 escudos minted in huge number; sometimes 2 million pcs for 10 million people country. Plus 7.5 euro even from 2017 and 2018 which are oficially circulating commemorative coin but the mintage is low -Austria; 5 euro coins, minted even 500 000 pcs for 9 million people country I think if the mintage is far bigger than amount of collectors in some coutry we are dealing with more or less circulation coin. It must have bullion value lower then nominal of course.
