Pocket Change: The History of American Coins PBS
Do you like History? Fun Facts? STARZ Hit Show Outlander? I don't know why I thru that in there but most likely as I was binge watching this Season while working on this post and Vlog. I kept wondering "what coins or currency forms Jamie was using…" Now that I've alienated 2/3rds of my readers, tis post is going to be a lot of Historical Geek Facts, an "all-about US Coins" guide and really a "how to" on coin collecting…and, you may not have anything better to do today during your quarantine. So why not learn something new to you !
We will begin our journey with the origin of American Coins in the colonial period. Then…I'll guide you thru the latter half of 18th Century, all the changes in the 19th and 20th Century, and we will wrap it up in today's modern era. You will learn how to identify, find values and much more. You might just come out of this, a coin expert, or…a little geekier than yesterday.
Sound good? Read On….To begin our journey thru the Numismatic History of the United States we must briefly visit America's COLONIAL PERIOD…first off, the word Numismatic, that just mean the study, or collection of currency…. coins, tokens, paper money and related objects….
So, lets back to our early origins…I am talking pre-Revolutionary War and the Colonial Period in the Americas. There was some Colonial Currency at the time, but it was non-Standardized to say the least. Most of your English colonists had simply continued their use of the common British currency of the period. The Pound, Shilling, and Pence….but, as the colonies began to break away commerce from England, these radical colonists began to print their more of their own currency. This proved to be a much better way to support the growth of their new colonies, and give the proverbial "Ye Old Finger," to the Crown.
It remained this way, well after the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783.
The fact is, it was not until The Coinage Act of 1792, 9 years later, that the United States Mint was Established. And the rest is history…
However, the first coin to actually be minted or produced, was The 1792 Half Dime. And there is a legend that the silver in these 1st half dimes actually came from Martha Washington's silverware.
