The American Numismatic Society Exhibition Of United States And Colonial Coins Catalogue

Excerpt from The American Numismatic Society Exhibition of United States and Colonial Coins Catalogue: January Seventeenth to February Eighteenth, 1914 The term Colonial, as applied to the coinage, embraces more than the actual Colonial period. It includes coins struck both in the Colonies, and in England for use in the Colonies, also all coins and tokens issued after the Revolution, and before the establishment of the United States Mint in 1792, by authority of the Government, and of several of the states, and by individuals having no authority both in America and England. The earliest coins were issued in the Sommer Islands - now Ber muda - about 1616, and while the colony never became a part of the United States, these coins are usually included in the Colonial series.
