After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. Government issued specially marked notes for circulation only in Hawaii as an economic defense measure in case of an invasion. After August 15, 1942, it was illegal to hold any other currency on the islands without a special license. If the feared invasion did occur, the government could easily declare the specially marked money valueless.

If you are keen on collecting old money you will probably know that a collector's item of old money is called fractional currency. I was really intrigued when I learnt that during the Civil War the United States began printing 50 cents, 25 cents, 15 cents, 10 cents and 5 cents paper money as they run short on change. Now such weird banknotes are highly desired by any true collector.

A major type of luster is prooflike. When dies are readied for production they are polished and/or rubbed with a cloth in order to make them appear bright and new. This polish fades rather quickly and certain issues are almost never seen with mirror-like reflectiveness. As an example, I have seen very few Prooflike coins from Charlotte and Dahlonega and only a handful from New Orleans.

Collecting Gold Bullion Coins

By Detlef Warner

It is an understatement to say that there is 'an interest in collecting gold coins.' With recent gold prices at $1,000 per ounce, the interest in acquiring gold has grown tremendously. It used to be that the gold standard was used when people traded currency. While the value of a country's paper money and coinage could dramatically drop as their economy fluctuated, gold was always expected to remain fairly stable. This is one of the biggest reasons that world gold bullion coins were developed... it makes it easy to trade gold on the world market. While these coins are not as popular as they once were, collectors prize them highly, and for good reason.

The artistry alone that is on the gold bullion coin makes it a pleasure to look upon. This is one of the reasons collectors like them. This is, after all, an appealing coin made of pure gold. But besides being made of this precious metal, it is this aesthetic value that makes these coins so collectible. Gold bullion coins from all over the world are beautifully designed, making them prized coins in anyones collection. Many collectors like them so much that they display these coins prominently so they can gaze upon them whenever they like. Gold bullion coins offer both beauty and monetary value to the collector.

Gold bullion coins date back into history further than many people realize. The very first gold coins used as currency go all the way back to 560 BC, and were minted in the long lost Lydian civilization. Wouldn't you love to collect one of those amazingly rare coins! Gold bullion coins continued to be used from 560 BC until well into the 20th century, when gold coin usage reduced dramatically.

Gold bullion coins are very unique because they derive their value from their weight instead of being assigned a numerical value. What this means is that the value of a gold coin will depend on what the open market says gold is selling for. This is the reason why many choose to purchase gold bullion coins to safeguard themselves against inflation and recession periods. This is why gold's value is skyrocketing now and those who have invested in gold have been taking advantage of the opportunity afforded by the current economic depression. Some may have even gotten these wonderful investments on eBay! Online auctions are an incredibly easy way to purchase coins like these, so why not?

While not everyone buys gold bullion coins to ensure their monetary safety, it is a possible use for these coins. Others buy them simply to enjoy owning these amazing gold bullion coins. The artistry employed in designing these coins makes them a worthwhile collectible on its own. As with many other things, owning gold bullion coins creates its own reward.
