Commemorative coins

I will talk about this week commemorative coins.

Memorial money is money that is issued to commemorate the national event in the world. Some on the subject of cultural heritage and wildlife. In many cases, even if there is a coin banknote. Commemorative coins, commemorative coins, especially if the coin is that the currency is also known as Memorial. Commemorative coins are also called currency Memorial.

State that issued the first commemorative coins were in the Roman Empire. In the Roman Empire had been a money issue often Victory. Portrait of the emperor and the king had been engraved on the money, it was possible for money to commemorate the monarch was crowned the newly issued. So, there was also meant to promote the new portrait of the monarch.

May be distributed in the same manner as money normal coin design is different from money usually there is what is called money usually for the purpose of distribution are usually money is the money memorial as well. There is a nominal value that are issued as a commemorative money every year in the UK. The money is usually five pounds banknote, commemorative coins is only money.

Expensive coins until around World War II, gold and silver were also made ​​of precious metal commemorative coins for a lot of things that are made ​​of precious metals as money did many standard. But, Was often that the gold coin is issued as money usually because the gold standard is stopped in the world after the Great Depression is no longer, after the Second World War is made of copper and white copper inexpensive even money Memorial. Due to an increase in industrial demand for silver price has risen since 1970, some countries no longer circulated as normal currency silver.

Coin boom in Japan 1000 yen commemorative silver coin issued in 1964 Tokyo Olympics was inspired. 100000 yen commemorative gold coin forgery case 60 years reign of Emperor Showa in 1986 occurred. So, has become coin collection that will accelerate away. Now 1 yen and 50 yen which was built between 2000 and 2002 has been trading with a high premium due to the small number of manufacturing. What you're yearning for collectors and especially in its issuance of 50 yen in 1987.

There is also a "error coins" are stamped deviation at the time of manufacture. If the coin is that perforated defective coin, so to speak, and without holes, such as hole deviation and error coins struck twice engraved, cast-shadow, and also tilt. May 5 yen and 50 yen coins are found the position of the hole is displaced in the process of perforation in the center of the distribution turns being removed from time to time, but usually in the middle of the inspection.

The commemorative coins were issued in 1964 in Japan. Was published in 2008 as the first silver coins silver coins and 100 yen 1,000 yen Tokyo Olympic Memorial. Up to 500 yen nickel-brass coins in commemoration of 100th anniversary of Japanese emigration to Brazil, 52 different commemorative coins have been issued and the Japan-Brazil Exchange Year.

Coins

This blog talks about the coin.

Was the beginning of the money, such as shells and stones as I said in the first blog. The Greeks thought that the use of mediation shall become anaerobic because the exchange of objects refers to the exchange of things. At first I was using the iron nail. Some were polygonal coins there are many things that are generally round shape. Some of you have a hole in the middle, a long time ago had been drilled for the purpose of storing cord through the hole. Currently coin has not been respected usefulness because it is small, the presence of holes in the value for the difference is the feel of the coin of the same size.

It was engraved grooves to prevent unauthorized users around so may be counterfeit coin even. Circumferential groove seen in current money is a relic of this measure. In addition, the circumferential groove is an important means to distinguish the coin texture for the visually impaired, such as euro coin now and it has been devised discrimination so that makes it easy to face, grooves and depressions not only jagged . The bill number has been printed, the coin has required a huge edition to change every time the number stamped for the same metal plate engraved. Only for the year of issue is engraved

In the West, the coin is a portrait of the parties that carve issue has been carried out from the Hellenistic period. There was no monetary value can be recovered remains unchanged even if the policy makers change portrait. There was never portrait of the Emperor is engraved it engraved portrait because it was considered to be rude in Japan, it was attempted at the time of issue 100 yen coin of 1957 and the bill of the early Meiji era is.

There are six types of money in the money and a commemorative coin that are currently manufactured in Japan \ 1, ¥ 5, ¥ 10, ¥ 50, ¥ 100, ¥ 500.

 

For commemorative coins will be introduced in a future blog. When you put more than 21 sheets at a time to settle because it is limited up to 20 sheets, forcing Spoken force your opponent as a legal tender can refuse to accept the bill is different.

 

Gain money for each issue
Types Money	Gain issue
1yen	-13yen
5yen	1yen
10yen	-32yen
50yen	30yen
100yen	27yen
500yen	457yen

On both sides of the coin has not been formally distinguished. In Mint has called back some aspects table, year of manufacture of the view that there is a surface, such as a plant display, this usage has penetrated.

In the case of the euro coin denominations of € 2 coins up to eight have been issued from 1 cent coin. Countries face the common coin of each country-specific aspects of the Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican has been cast in the design of the original design have a common map of Europe was drawn. Surface has been drawn to the common face design and by Lluc-Ryuikkusu the designer of the Royal Belgian Mint has been subjected to.

I will change the shape, etc. because it was inconvenient as well as coins and paper money. In addition, we have also been devised that are not counterfeit. The next week to talk about commemorative coins.

 

Paper money

　In last week's blog was talking about the history of money, I talk about paper money this week.

  It was a valuable goods, such as precious metal money begins. Although,precious metal coins were inconvenient to carry. People received a certificate in a safe deposit precious metals instead. Deed I had a piece of paper is worthwhile for the precious metal that can be exchanged at any time. It can be said that this is the beginning of the paper money. The paper money is before the invention, in the currency of Carthage and leather were popular. But, Leather currency broke off with the destruction of Carthage. The others are cut off by the Roman conquest of grain safekeeping receipt to the warehouse (made papyrus) was being used as a substitute for currency even in ancient Egypt.

Kousi is the world's first paper money was issued as evidence of iron currency deposits in the era of Song. I have come to be widely distributed as a replacement bill was amended by later to print promissory note was handwritten, but initially. The Bank of England is the only bank of issue and the United Kingdom in 1844 by the Bank Act peel. Bill of many countries became fiat money cannot be exchanged with specie.

In Japan the beginning of the bill has been referred to as the year 1334. But, paper money is a country merchants Yamada Ise 1623 issued by have left a kind. In the Edo period, each clan has issued a clan note as a breakthrough in financial difficulties. Paper money also be used by other occupation and place of status also was different. Japanese government bill has to be issued and will be in the Meiji era.

So, in 1873, the First National Bank (now Mizuho Bank) was established by the National Bank Act. National Bank to issue banknotes of 153 each in practice since then, the issuance of banknotes has become a thing of the monopoly at the same time as the Bank of Japan Bank of Japan was established in 1882. But, national bank notes and government was at the root of inflation has been gradually withdrawn from the market. Has come to be a unified currency of Japan from around 1897. In 2004, ten thousand yen bill of new design, five thousand yen bill, thousand-yen bill was issued as a Japan bank for the first time in 20 years.

 

(This is a one-yen note issued by the Bank of Japan.)

 

(I have seen you often, I am thousand-yen bill to one that was previously used.)

The other hand in other countries, Aid money and silver coins that have been established sovereign is issued in the UK in 1816. The gold standard in the late 19th century has become the standard for the world to switch to the gold standard after another and even Western countries after this.

The bill now build on its own through copying everyone will be featured in a future blog. Japan's paper money devised which would not be counterfeit is a lot. In Japan have been devised such as to invisibly counterfeiting technology, especially due to the high.

  

(As shown in the figure on the bill and there is a good fold aside.）

I will talk about the coins in the following blog.

History of money

Did not know how to update my blog. I had to update my blog to Gmail account. I'm sorry I was late to submit.

Hello. My name is Chihiro Imori. Title of the blog is money. Why do I say the title money ? Because money is indispensable for people to live. I think this week I want to talk about the history of money.

 The history of Japanese money; I was inconvenience had to barter something of the same value. So, shellfish and stone began to be used in the exchange of goods. Although I do not know the age, metal such as bronze is now used as money under the influence of China. Some money at the beginning of this. The first coins in Japan and is Wadokaichin coin that was minted from 708 years. 12 types of coins was made in 250 years from the year 708 to 958 years. Silk was to be used as money is from the 11th century to stop the issuance of money since the ninth century and later. But, the need for money has grown increasingly active commercial. Money due to the metal began to spread again. Development of a silver mine and gold mine became active in Japan would stop the influx coin to Japan due to a change in China's currency policy. Gold silver was to be cast by order of the Sengoku daimyo soon. I was allowed to use a gold sphere of silver use is concentrated in the West to East for many East gold mines, there were many silver mines in the West.

 Around the 16th century and is said from the time I came to be used with the oval of gold that everyone sees in a historical play well. Oval was being used to exchange for money to use of different Western Japan East Japan.

 The history of the world's money; China was the most influential Japanese first. Although I do not know ago. I was using the money and shells in the same way as Japan and China. Something that looks like a knife or something that looks like the plow has come to be used. Shapes and sizes were different depending on the region, rather than that it was a nationwide unified monetary value there was a culture of money from ancient China. The amount of copper coin production grew went as a national policy of the cast money was available from the old production technology was so good in 200 BC. An emperor will be unified in the form of coins money coins scattered all over the ring and an emperor unified China for the first time.

 I found that will change the shape in order to unify the country in exchange of money or things become popular in any country. The money was also used, such as when you trade with other countries as well to unify the money in the country. But, there was a force in the country concerned. Some say the bill which came out in the paper as well as coins made ​​of metal for money. You can also hear the evolution of human brain development and age Over.

 I think next week's blog I want to talk about money and more deeply.
