Commemorative coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (187 words) |
 | Commemorative coins are legally issued coins with a denomination that are not usually meant for circulation. |
| In the United Kingdom, before decimalisation of the money system in 1971, the usual commemorative coin was a crown, or five shilling piece. |
| Commemorative coins can also be issued commercially as collectibles, for example in many tourist locations in Paris, France, vending machines distribute commemorative coins for two euros which bear an imprint of the building or art within it. |
