GoldenChest Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 10:08 am I like jbucks line of thinking. But while we wait, Have we given anythought to the 1492 issue? As in, there are no known coins with that date on them. Are we just going to skip it. Or perhaps put range coins up in it place. Report this Post to the Staff

GoldenChest Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 10:51 am Hmm I thought I had read somewhere on that site, linked from this thread that there were no 1492s. It was a collection of a coin from each year. Clearly I was mistaken, I ll have to try and find the correct info I'm thinking of. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 10:55 am I remember reading the same thing as well but luckily that does not seem to be the case. If you find the link, I would be interested in seeing it (kind of bugs me when I can't remember where I read things!). Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 11:31 am From what I remember, the most recent (Christian) date for which there are no coins known is 1453. Of course, in this thread, there are also Muslim coins to consider; so we could eventually end up much earlier (possibly as early as 8th century; it's a bit confusing whether it is possible to get beyond that).

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 09/18/2013 09:16 am I have thought of those coins as well but have not found a good way to convert the dates. Are you aware of any tools that could help us with that? Report this Post to the Staff
