<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1802477, member: 112&quot;]I don&#039;t know, maybe. But the question was which country had the first round coins. The answer to that is France as they were the first country to change the minting process over to milled coinage. And yes, those coins were minted by using a collar. Now whether that was a close collar or a segmented collar, that I cannot say with any certainty. But since the coins had reeded edges and there are no noticeable breaks, I suspect it was a close collar. </p><p><br /></p><p>And France was also the first country to ever strike a milled coin. They struck milled testoons in 1553.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
