<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 128366, member: 4552&quot;]That really is a good&nbsp; question though. What difference could it possibly have if coins did not have dates on them? Our Mint and the Mints of other countries shouldn&#039;t care how many they made, where they were made or when they were made. Nor is it important who designed the coin so thier initials on coins in unimportant also. Same on our currency. Why the signature of the Secretary of the Treasury on our bills? However, if no dates or mint marks, the people at the Mint would say we have been working our butts off for hundreds of days straight and for 20 hours a day to produce coins and without a date, who could disprove them. So they would put in for massive overtime and our tax dollars would be spent on government workers that did nothing. And we all know that is just not the way things operate in our government. </p><p>Now looking back in time, did the ancient Romans or Greeks put dates on their coins? Did thier coins state BC or AD? How come our coins do not say AD after the date? Are we to always assume that our coins are all dated AD even though they don&#039;t say so?</p><p>And the most important thing about dates on coins is without them, there would be no coin collectors, no Whitman or Dansco Albums, no coin books or magazines and mainly no PCGS web site. No such web site as this so we couldn&#039;t ask such quetions and therefore[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
