<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2613327, member: 4373&quot;]I think what bothered me is that while the pictures show a good scale of the different coins for each mint set - in order to make it fit within the constraint ebook design, they are resized which gives it somewhat a false sense of their size.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the two mistakes I&#039;ve noticed is the Soviet Union and Australia section. The Soviet Union did continue to exist till late December 1991. For the Australian 1988 coins, the commemorative 50 cent coin did circulate and do appear from time to time. The Royal Australian mint claims that about 200,000 of 1988 20 cents coin was released into circulation but I have not seen one in the wild (yet). For the Australian 1986 set, only the dollar coin was released into circulation. Others were struck only for mint set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another point to be made in the South Korean coins is that the 1 and 5 won coins do not exist in circulation - these are only struck for mint sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, this is a well designed ebook and I like it. This deserve a bit more exposure.This would take one a fair bit of time to plan, design and publish. In the long run, I&#039;m certain this is the new way to present coins. I&#039;ve been experimenting for almost 10 years and this is much easier said than done.</p><p><br /></p><p>So let&#039;s give a round of applause to sonlarson![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
