Rupre07 Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 8:55 pm I have recently become intrigued with the Philippine coins minted when they were under protection from the U.S. and bear the United States of America on them. What would I call these if I were to search them, and are there other protectorates of the U.S. that minted coins with the U.S. on them? All I could come up with for now was "philippine american coins" Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 9:32 pm You should be able to just research them as any other Philippine coin. Here's the years under US control: http://www.coinsite.com/content/faq...lippines.asp Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 9:33 pm I believe American collectors call them "US-Philippines" or "US-PI". Although simply searching for "Philippines" coins from the time period in question should find them too. And no, the Philippines were the only "American colony" that issued its own "colonial" coinage. Although the coinage of Liberia, formerly an American colony, often bears a strong similarity to US coinage.
