Απόσπασμα: "ALLRED1950"​Hey Rick would that be the only coin in English history with two different kings of England on it ?

​​​With coins (and foreign ones, not home-minted) only starting in the 600's and England being united in 927, it's not very surprising.
​​
​​There have been coins with Elizabeth II and Edward VIII on them, as well as Elizabeth II and Victoria. George V had one with his father as well.

​​I can't be sure but I suspect Daryl's question was more related to circulating coinage rather than medallions or tokens.

​​Sorry, I made a slight error earlier, it turns out there were coins found with the likeness of two Roman emperors together, some had the name of Alfred and some had Ceolwulf, which were previously unrecorded.

Απόσπασμα: "Ragnarr"​Separate coins, one with CEOLVVLF and one with ALFRED. That doesn't mean they were allies in any way.

Απόσπασμα: "radrick007"​It seems we may have done Ceolwulf II our own injustice here on Numista by not including any of his coinage in our catalogue so I intend to put that right soon.

Απόσπασμα: "ZacUK"​ This one is not really news, and not about coins, but I have for ages (44 years) been trying to remember which country it was that had to dismiss the designer of a new banknote, as the leaves of the palm trees were made to look like they spelled out SEX in the way they were drawn on the note !

​
​ I either read about it in a newspaper or saw it on television - and now I find it was a 1968 Seychelles 50 Rupee note with Queen Elizabeth II on it. Despite all that it was not decided to redesign the note !?
​ That link has other banknote errors on there. Interesting read. :D

Απόσπασμα: "Houseofham"​Unless he goes to every country to get their currency in person, I don't see how someone who's been collecting for 36 years with that goal in mind could be missing Solomon Islands. It's not exactly a hard one to find.

​A Serbian man has spent the last 36 years of his life collecting currency from every country/territory in the world, and is now missing only the Solomon Islands.
​
​Anyone want to donate something to him?

Απόσπασμα: "Camerinvs"​The cashless present and future stays in the news:
​
​Cash left by wayside for some businesses

Απόσπασμα: "Camerinvs"​I'm so use of not carrying much cash that at a big coin show over a year ago I had to run out of the place and find a bank, cutting on the precious little time I had left before the show was closing for the day.

Απόσπασμα: "CassTaylor"​
​​Not really relevant to the subject of cashlessness, but once I left a coin show to get some more funds; I was attending a UK coin show on the last day at 4 in the afternoon, so when I got back I wasn't allowed in because they were closing in less than an hour- so I had to sneak under the velvet rope while they weren't looking.
​
​Made sure the guy noticed me when I walked back out again with my purchases!

Απόσπασμα: "Houseofham"​Kazakhstan's National Bank has just published a press release a few days ago on the Russian version of their site announcing plans to release a new set of circulation coins in 2019.
​
​https://nationalbank.kz/?vers=org&docid=3587&switch=russian
​
​It reads something like: Press release for the project "In relation to the establishment of a period of parallel circulation of coins of the national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan"
​
​Basically, they're switching from the Cyrillic to Latin alphabet, which means a change had to be made to their coat of arms (i.e. the legend on it) and this change needs to be reflected on the country's currency.
​
​The denominations will be as before, i.e. 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Tenge. Whether there will be any changes other than an updated coat of arms is unspecified.

Απόσπασμα: "Giobruno"And I have a question about it: is that coin already catalogued (but not on Numista) or it's a brand new coin type?

​​on the website they mention coins, but not sure if it's the same as on the picture:
​"This date was refined by tiny gold coins from the coffin, called tremissi from Merovingian France. The coins bear the name of the mint where they were made and the moneyer who made them and were only produced after AD 580."

Απόσπασμα: "ZacUK"​ In the United Kingdom the 50 Pence coin was first introduced in 1969 as
​a replacement in decimalisation for the 10 Shilling note. So 2019 is the 50th
​anniversary, and to celebrate that there will be a special mintmark on 2019 50 Pence coins.
​ I found that out today as I received an envelope from Westminster Collection /
