It is pretty evident that a lot of old money has significant value nowadays. It is true that casual collectors cannot afford to have any authentic old money and notes from the 1800s and early 1900s as their value and consequently price are too high. That's how collecting souvenir cards are becoming more and more popular. Having them you can collect a piece of history without actually paying a high price for it.

Gold & Silver Coin Bullion Info

A set of high-magnification hand lenses is an invaluable tool for numismatists. However, magnification of 10� and up is only recommended for spotting signs of counterfeiting. Skip Fazzari offers these tips and more.

Whatever method you try to clean a coin, it's best to test it on a non-valuable coin of similar metal first. That way if a certain method does have bad effects, you'll find out before you ruin a valuable coin. I discovered this much to my chagrin when cleaning a batch of 1943 steel pennies in an acid solution. I'll never know if it would have worked, because I had the pennies in a galvanized steel container and the acid, combined with the galvanization, fused the pennies into one worthless chunk.

While obsolete gold coins are primarily collected for their numismatic value, gold bullion coins today derive their value from the metal (gold) content - and as such are viewed by some investors as a "hedge" against inflation or a store of value. South Africa introduced the Krugerrand in 1967 to cater to this market; this was the reason for its convenient and memorable gold content�exactly one troy ounce. It was the first modern, low premium (i.e. priced only slightly above the bullion value of the gold) bullion gold coin. Bullion coins are also produced in fractions of an ounce � typically half ounce, quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce. Bullion coins do not carry a meaningful face value, as their value is mainly dictated by their troy weight and the current market price of the precious metal. (If a face value is minted on the coin, it is done for legal or other reasons and it is nearly always significantly less than the actual value of the coin.) Gold has an international currency code of XAU under ISO 4217.
