From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A coin is a piece of hard material that is standardized in weight, is produced in large quantities in order to facilitate trade, and primarily can be used as a legal tender token for commerce in the designated country, region, or territory. Coins are usually metal or a metallic material and sometimes made of synthetic materials, usually in the shape of a disc, and most often issued by a government. Coins are used as a form of money in transactions of various kinds, from the everyday circulation coins to the storage of large numbers of bullion coins. In the present day, coins and banknotes make up the cash forms of all modern money systems. Coins made for paying bills and general monetized use are usually used for lower-valued units, and banknotes for the higher values; also, in most money systems, the highest value coin made for circulation is worth less than the lowest-value note. The face value of circulation coins is usually higher than the gross value of the metal used in making them, but this is not generally the case with historical circulation coins made of precious metals. Exceptions to the rule of coin face-value being higher than content value, also occur for some "bullion coins" made of silver or gold (and, rarely, other metals, such as platinum or palladium), intended for collectors or investors in precious metals. Examples of modern gold collector/investor coins include the American Gold Eagle minted by the United States, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf minted by Canada, and the Krugerrand, minted by South Africa. The American Gold Eagle has a face value of US$50, and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins also have nominal (purely symbolic) face values (e.g., C$50 for 1 oz.); but the Krugerrand does not. Historically, a great number of coinage metals (including alloys) and other materials have been used practically, artistically, and experimentally in the production of coins for circulation, collection, and metal investment, where bullion coins often serve as more convenient stores of assured metal quantity and purity than other bullion. Coins have long been linked to the concept of money, as reflected by the fact that in other languages the words "coin" and "currency" are synonymous. Fictional currencies may also bear the name coin (as such, an item may be said to be worth 123 coin or 123 coins). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have no cash and loads of coins, is there a way to exchange coins for cash, like on yoville? Asked by Charlotte K - Wed Mar 24 16:56:08 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Only way to get FV cash without paying is by leveling up. You could try buying yellow haybales to get XP if you have lots of cash. 100 coins = 5 xp. If you want FV cash items, you could make a second account and use its cash to gift yourself items. Answered by tom_2727 - Thu Mar 25 18:01:01 2010 How do I keep coins, saved in the original bank paper roll and in a plastic tube, from changing color? Q. I am saving state quarters for my daughter. I have noticed that some of the quarters are getting a bronze look to them. I don't know if it is the entire roll or simply the ones on the end. I have placed the coins in the squared plastic tubes and then in old army "ammo boxes". I desire her being able to take them out in 20 to 30 years in brilliant uncirculated condition. What is the best way to store them? Asked by inquisitive tobaccoman - Wed Feb 7 13:09:33 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can keep the coins in the plastic coin tubes for they are inert. The paper used to wrap coins is not. The ammo box has to go. There is residue of oils and other chemicals there and no washing the box out will not do. Coins have rims on them so they will stack and that is the part that touches the coin under it. Just be careful when you take them out of the tube, let them slide or fall onto a soft cloth and don't let them hit each other.When putting coins in the tube just take it slow and easy. It is not that hard to do. The coins at the end of the bank wrappers are toning, due to the box and also just to the air hitting them, the rims in side will too, for the bank roll paper has chemicals in them. Put all rolls in to plastic tube and… [cont.] Answered by Taiping - Wed Feb 7 21:09:20 2007 how do i clean old aluminium coins with white metal stains?
Q. 10 Mark Jewish Getto Coins (1943). I am giving them as gifts to people, they are not for keeping so it doesnt matter if the value decreases! they are aluminium metal -what is best for cleaning them please? Asked by jodie c - Thu Nov 8 05:45:51 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Cleaning coins is fairly risky. Botched cleaning jobs can make a very valuable coin almost worthless on the market, and actually do more harm than good to a coin. Deciding whether or not to clean isn't easy. Cleaning goes in and out of fashion like any other trend; some years, cleaned coins are popular and other years, they're not. Overall, serious collectors prefer "natural" coins. You will often hear collectors talk about "toning". That's just a nice way of saying tarnish. Oddly enough, an evenly toned coin with an attractive color can be worth more than an artificially shiny, polished coin. Toning, however, is not the same as dirt or corrosion. Leaving these on a coin can cause even more damage to it over time. Removing the dirt and… [cont.] Answered by @y - Thu Nov 8 07:32:05 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "coins" |
