Criteria for inclusion
[edit]Do not archive this thread An obsolete denomination of currency is a denomination that meets all of the requirements below:
- Circulated, the denomination must have been made with the intention of circulation and must have been circulated by the public or a government.
- Discontinued, the denomination must not be made for circulation anymore. It may, however, be made for other purposes such as for collectors items or for investors.
- No longer circulated, the denomination must have been largely removed from circulation by either a government or the public.
What it not an obsolete denomination of currency
[edit]
- A commemorative coin that is no longer produced (example: Panama-Pacific half union)
- A coin or banknote that was not meant for circulation but circulated anyway (example: 1848 "CAL" Liberty Head quarter eagle)
- A bullion coin that is no longer produced
- A coin or banknote that was discontinued for circulation but still circulates (example: Susan B. Anthony dollar)
- If you are not sure if a denomination should be included in this article, feel free to ask. - ZLEA T\C 00:06, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Coins
[edit]We need to add a spot for the 4 dollar Stella. I might do this in a few hours Thesharkjonas (talk) 23:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think I'd classify them as "obsolete", since they were struck as patterns and were never put into circulation. I think a denomination has to have entered circulation for at least a little while to be "obsolete". In fact, I wouldn't include the two-cent billon or three-cent bronze coins on the list for the same reason. Almostfm (talk) 00:33, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
