<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2270209, member: 15588&quot;]Since I spend a fair amount of time with hammered coins, anything not made by a human physically whacking a die seems pretty modern, even horse drawn mints. But &quot;modern&quot; coinage now largely means circulating clad coinage (which some consider tokens more than coins), so I&#039;m also tempted to call money devoid of significant, or any, inherent value &quot;modern.&quot; The clad revolution changed just about everything with coinage, its look, feel, economics, etc. The last major sea change that seems to separate our current phase from the previous one looks like clad. But a lot of these words depend on context and point of view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
