CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 3:42 pm ANA - The treasure of the SS Central America (sank Sept. 12, 1857) is mostly known for its large, historical gold bars and boxes of Double Eagles. However, an important story lies within the money of smaller denominations, including the California Fractional Currency, the silver coinage, and the lower-denomination gold, some of which is found in spectacular mint-state condition. This NumismaTalk will explore the occurrence and distribution of this "small change" on the shipwreck site, and show how numismatics illustrates this singular period in the nation's history, the California Gold Rush, and the changing face of American money in the mid-19th century.
