[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 2467610, member: 75143"]One of the better answers I have found for the use of dates is to declare certain dates worthless. For example, paper money had those special stamps for Japanese invasion ir whatever it was, so that if these certain notes fell into enemy hands they could be declared worthless. Similarly, if the country was taken over or something, the government could declare all coins up to this year invalid, and immediately release a new date that could be used.[/QUOTE]
