Fat Freddy Pillar of the Community United States 1200 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 12:22 am This coin is presently offered by TalismanCoins.com -- see http://www.talismancoins.com/servle...tail?no=2061 Does anybody know if this is a "real" (governmentally-issued, official legal tender) coin -- or, is it another of those "fantasy" coins previously shown in CCF -- like in svslav's post in https://goccf.com/t/80614&SearchTerms=greenland I might find it interesting if it's a "real" coin, but I suspect it's just another "fantasy" thing.

The older coins, from the colonial period (1920s) are, however, "real coins". 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
Fat Freddy Pillar of the Community United States 1200 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 12:29 pm Many thanks for saving me from self-embarrasment. I'm going to go with the upcoming 1.5oz silver Canadian Polar Bear. It's considerably less expensive as well as "real"... Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 7:29 pm Agreed about the "fantasy". If one likes the design, why not buy such a piece - but it has nothing to do with real money. :) Greenland is still part of Denmark, but it has a high degree of autonomy these days which covers pretty much everything except foreign policy and defense. About five years ago there were plans to issue special "Greenlandic" banknotes - but those would have been kroner denominated notes, at par with the DKK. (Pretty much what the Faroes have.) Ultimately, in 2010, the plan was dropped though. And there have never been any plans to issue new Greenlandic coins. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
Fat Freddy Pillar of the Community United States 1200 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 8:48 pm I do like the design, but I need to be more prudent with my hobby funds than spending $100 on a 1oz silver round. Right now, other 1oz rounds can be had for $35 and Canadian Silver Maple Leafs are $36.18. Either is a far better investment and would resell without a 66% loss. Report this Post to the Staff
