<p>[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 128676, member: 708"]My point was and still is, is that there's no reason for putting dates on coins. If other marks 'mintmarks' were placed on coins instead of dates to determine when a coin was struck (for official record purposes, so they know how many they struck in a year and how fast coins from that year disappear from circulation, so that they can calculate how many will be needed in subsequent years), then no there'd be no reason to keep dates and they could easily be dropped again.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least that's my take on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
