Join Chris Carter and the North Central Arkansas Coin Club for an engaging look at the evolution of American coinage from colonial times to today.Chris, who holds a B.A. and M.A. in History and began a PhD before shifting to law, started collecting British coins at Oxford when shillings and florins (2 shillings) were still in circulation.
Learn:
• When foreign coins were legal tender in the U.S.
• Why coins have reeded edges
• The history of the quarter dollar and the absence of pennies
• Who were the key architects of the U.S. monetary system
• Which coins were first minted in the 1790s
Then explore coins that might be issued for America’s 150th and 200th anniversaries, and get a sneak peek at the Mint’s tentative plans for 2026.
