STTScott Valued Member Virgin Islands (U.S.) 68 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 02:44 am I had an explanation of these (and what they were) that I can't seem to find. They are each roughly 1/2 inch tall and 1/4 inch wide. From what I recall from the original, they were in use just before the Japanese converted everything to Western coinage.

STTScott Valued Member Virgin Islands (U.S.) 68 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 1:32 pm Wow, that was fast. Thanks all! Can anyone tell me the date on these? Edited by STTScott 02/13/2021 1:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 7:42 pm They do not have a date on them, but they were produced from 1853 to 1865. I don't think there's any way to get a narrower date range than that. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
