<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2271441, member: 75525&quot;]My two cents worth:</p><p>1. For US coins, I think the cent is the oldest circulating coin. A local coin club &quot;drops&quot; old coins around town for publicity before their coin show. Indian cents and 1914-Ds were spent at various locations. I get more comments when paying with $2 bills than when I add a few wheat cents into payment.</p><p><a href="http://abc13.com/archive/9348690/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://abc13.com/archive/9348690/" rel="nofollow">http://abc13.com/archive/9348690/</a></p><p>2. The Maria Theresa Thaler was originally struck in Austria from 1740 to 1780, by the Austrian Empire for trade with Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and other countries. It became the only silver coin that the Arabs would accept. The MT Thaler is still struck today with the 1780 date. The taler became the unofficial currency in some areas of Africa and Asia, and may still be in use today as a &quot;trade silver dollar&quot;.</p><p><a href="http://www.theresia.name/en/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theresia.name/en/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theresia.name/en/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
