I just felt like making this list, feel free to discuss it.  I hope you find it interesting.  Please note that discontinued currency, while no longer produced, are still legal tender in the United States of America and can be used to purchase goods and/or services.  It should be noted that this list only contains American money (not to be confused with currency), and doesn't contain coins from other countries (including, but not limited to: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Jonathanland, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand).  It should also be noted that this list isn't entirely in order (I was originally going to make it in order, but then half-way through making it, I realized that I would have to fill in the middle with the current currency (I was working on discontinued currency at the time), and that would be most disconcerting.  I got the idea to do this (and decided I was going to do this) on Thanksgiving (2009), while at my grandma's house, with the whole family (excluding Jonathan McDonald, who unfortunately couldn't attend).

kevin1gamer, absolutely fascinating. While I'm not a numismatist by any means, this sort of stuff is the kind of thing that makes students of history sit up and take a look. Allow me to suggest something for your list though: you might want to conduct research on the exact years of production / issue for some of the coinage used, as some of the dates are not clear or missing completely from the visual samples that you've produced here in this thread. Another thing to consider, out of pure academic interest, would be researching the meanings or symbolisms behind particular coinage: for instance, I find the motto of "MIND YOUR BUSINESS" on the first coin hilarious and intriguing, though I'm sure it was intended as something completely different. Also, would you be planning to use this in any way for a class project? This subject of old / discontinued money is definitely interesting enough to become one, IMHO, should your school teacher permit it.

I agree with Amberyl. I used to collect ancient Norwegian coins and have a chest full of discontinued currency.



Just a shame I don't want to break my scanner on them, eh?
