Coined For Money: Round-Up Apr. 15-21, 2013

A nice summary of past and future coins this week. The Bitcoin is just getting started while the lonely pound is 30 years old.

PC Mag has a nice summary about Bitcoins except a proper explanation of how this e-currency is made. 

The British pound coin marks 30 years of a solo career after replacing the pound note in April of 1983.


I had nothing that new or old so I just wrote about the $5 bill from 1995.

    I have a 1967 New Zealand 10 cent/one shilling coin that is clearly thinner than the standard '67 10c/shilling by perhaps a half (by feel and visually - have not measured or weighed it). I am assuming it is a misprint/stamp. The background surface is course, but apart from that the detail is Very Fine. Have you come across this before? Is it marketable?

    Sounds like acid damage.

    That said it could be a possible Lamination error but I have heard of that for this coin. If an error the value might be few dollars but there is little demand for this type.
