<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 709642, member: 4703&quot;]One more example of an overly enthusiastic application of US-centric statements that don&#039;t necessarily hold true for the rest of the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a matter of fact world coins with dates that don&#039;t match the year of production are quite common, including, for example: <ul> <li>Spanish coins with normal-sized dates that represent the first year of minting a particular series, and tiny dates visible to most people only under magnification, representing the actual year of issuance</li> <li>Coins of many Arabic nations with the ruler&#039;s ascension date, and a secondary - usually smaller - number indicating the year of the ruler&#039;s reign during which the particular coin was issued, and, of course</li> <li>Many coins restruck with the original date, including, but certainly not limited to, Austrian Maria Therese Thalers and Confederate States of America coins.</li> </ul><p>Then, of course, just to create extra confusion, there are the Chinese counterfeits claiming to be 19th Century Washington Quarters and Morgan Dollars, 20th Century US Trade Dollars, etc., and unfortunately fooling a lot of people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
