That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 2:28 pm Hi all, TCD here, bringing you a new take on jbuck's series 'How far back can we go'. In this challenge, we will start with the lowest denomination on any coin, 1/192 (Rixdollar), and see how high our denomination can get! Rules: You can only post a coin with the same denomination or higher, and see if we can get at least 3 coins of a given denomination. Once we either, hit the highest know denomination, or get dry from posts, the challenge ends. You can't post the same coin someone else posted. And lastly, try and bring different countries each time. Good luck and have fun! Here is the 1/192 rixdollar to begin. Edited by That Coin Dude 12/17/2020 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 4:03 pm Actually, there's a 1/600 piastre coin from Protectorate of Tonkin (1905). Report this Post to the Staff
Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 175 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 5:02 pm Early Half Cents show the denomination also as 1/200 which is less than the 1/192 rixdaler. And then there also are the tax tokens some of these have a denomination of 1 mil (1/1000 of a dollar). Or, if you want coins only, Egypt issued one mil coins. Actually it is not clear what you mean by lowest. Do you mean the number stated on the coin or the denomination (number + unit). If you mean just the number than a Half Cent and a half dollar have the same "value". Another example: a 1 pfennig coin from Prussia, early 19 th century has its denomination indicated as both "1 pfennig" and also as "1/360" of a thaler Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 10:43 pm Yes, but they are considered 1/2 of a cent. I am not talking about conversion rates, I mean the denomination of the coin itself. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 09:30 am Great idea for a thread. This earlier thread has a list on p.1 that I think is well accepted as having the denomination on the coin, but has very few pictures. http://goccf.com/t/267102 Maybe can be used to settle disputes Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 9:11 pm First of all I saw it and thought this was about drugs! Second it's a silly thread as some will always find some coin with a lower denomination to start with and we will have no cohesion. I can think of those Prussian 1/360 Thaler things from 1850 something straightaway. A farthing is 1/960 of a pound, so the lowest coin I think of is a quarter farthing which is 1/3840 of a pound.
