<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Indianhead65, post: 209571, member: 103422&quot;]Id like to post a new thread every month for dates in U.S. Numismatic History if thats alright with everyone here. Its a great learning tool for everyone here incuding myself, the self-proclaimed history junkie. This will hopefully appear in here on the 1st of each month. Let me know your input whether you like it or could do without it, I&#039;m flexable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>Dates in March</u>-</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-24-1964</u>- The first Kennedy Half Dollar coins were released into circulation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-25-1964</u>- C. Douglas Dillon, the 57th Secretary of the Treasury announced that silver certificates would no longer be redeemable in silver dollars, pursuant to the act of June 4, 1963. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-28-1838</u>- The first &quot;branch Mint&quot; coinage, gold half eagle coins, were produced at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-30-1795</u>- The U.S. produced the first half disme coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-31-1853</u>- T.M. Pettit was confirmed as the 8th Director of the U.S. Mint. He served from April 1853 to June 1853.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-31-1971</u>- The first Eisenhower silver dollars (40%) were produced at the San Francisco Mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>3-31-1988</u>- The West Point Bullion Depository became the first new mint since 1862.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note: With Numismatics having such a broad range with coins from every country in the world, I unfortunately only have the time to do dates for the U.S. history . If a member from another country would like to do dates in their country that would be great, if you feel the interest as I do. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kevin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
