<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thaivic, post: 907654, member: 23991&quot;]A fascinating discussion throughout. One thing that strikes me is the number of people (100% of them Americans I assume) that consider them as US coins!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If they were struck (and to me it doesn&#039;t matter where or by whom) for circulation in the Philippines <u>only</u> then they are Philippino coins, which is where you will find them listed in Krause.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Trade dollars are different because they were struck for use within a sphere of influence that spanned many countries so yes I would class them as US coinage. The same would apply to trade dollars struck by Great Britain as being British.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But at the end of the day it is <u>your</u> collection so <u>you</u> class them as <u>you</u> want.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(And as it&#039;s the end of the day...time for a beer.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
