Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Varieties of Gold and Silver Coins, Counterfeit Coins, and Bullion: With Mint Values Under this provision, as is stated in a circular of Dr. Patterson, Director of the Mint, of June, 1849, the terms upon which Gold and Silver are received for coinage have-been re-adjusted, and the following tariff of charges has been adopted, with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury. It presents terms the most liberal that are consistent with the actual cost of the operations, and, it is believed, as advantageous to depositors as those of any other Mint or Refinery. Without giving a detail of the items of that tariff (printed copies of which may be had at the Mint), we shall here state generally its operation.

Download or read book The Types of Greek Coins written by Percy Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Types of Greek Coins: An Archaeological Essay Pollux, in his valuable chapter on coins, which in fact contains nearly all the information handed down to us from antiquity on the subject, says that it was among the Greeks a disputed point which was the first nation or prince to strike coins. Some, he says, ascribed the invention to the Athenians, some to the Naxians, some to Pheidon, king of Argos, some to Demodice, wife of the Phrygian Midas, some to the Lydians. We are able now, better than Pollux, better even than Aristotle, who was one of his principal authorities, to determine the respective claims of these pretenders. The Naxians certainly issued coin early, but both in type and weight it is only a copy of that of Aegina. Of the coinage of Athens no specimens which have reached us are of earlier date than the reforms of Solon, about b.c. 560, and it is almost certain that there were coins in Greece before that time. As to Midas we can only say that we do not know of any early Phrygian coinage. The Lydians and Pheidon, king of Argos, remain, and the claims of both to the invention of coinage are supported by grave authorities. Let us first consider what precise meaning is to be attached to the phrase 'invention of coinage.' A coin is, of course, a lump of any precious metal of fixed weight, and stamped with the mark of some authority which guarantees the weight and fineness of the coin, and so its value. The so-called leathern money of the Carthaginians, if it ever existed, did not consist of coins, because not of metal; a lump of gold or silver, such as still constitutes currency in China, is not a coin, because it is not stamped by authority.
