<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1458433, member: 26302&quot;]If using the word &quot;modern&quot; to delineate more current coins versus other machine struck coins, (not comparing them versus medieval or ancients), I would say my default position on world coins in post WWII. So many major changes happened because of the war, and it was in this timeframe PM was eliminated worldwide from circulation. Also, the number of coins collect skyrocketed, so BU examples after WWII are much more comman than before WWII.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is my default position, of course on a country by country basis it could change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I have never really heard anyone refer to 1982 as the beginning of modern coins in the US. The start of the new commemorative series, yes, but I have always heard 1965 for the date of US &quot;modern&quot; coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
