	Euro coins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Turkish 1 Lira coin resembles very much the 2-euro coin in both weight and size, and both coins seem to be recognised and accepted by slot machines as being a 2-euro coin, which is roughly worth 4 times more.
		Euro coins were designed in cooperation with organisations representing blind persons, and as a result they incorporate many features allowing them to be distinguished by touch alone.
		Despite this, these coins are not really intended to be used as means of payment, as their face value is generally vastly exceeded by their scrap value, so it does not constitute a serious problem.

		Coins could be counterfeited, but they also created a new unit of account, which helped lead to banking.
		It was with Archimedes' principle that the next link in currency occurred: coins could now be easily tested for their fine weight of metal, and thus the value of a coin could be determined, even if it had been shaved, debased or otherwise tampered with (see Numismatics).
		Silver coins were used for large, but common, transactions, and as a unit of account for taxes, dues, contracts and fealty, while copper coins represented the coinage of common transaction.

	Guernsey Gold Coins and bullion
		The One Double was legal tender and was first minted in 1830; it was released periodically until 1966 together with the Two, Four and Eight Doubles.
		The one double is unlike most other world coinage that generally features the current head of state; the States of Guernsey (the local government) used a strictly Guernesiais motif, hence the royal seal of King Edward I given to the island in 1279 that featured on the Doubles.
		The original seal bore the three lions of England, crowned later to become leopards, surmounted by a branch to represent broom or 'planta genista', Edward's badge of rank.

		While numismatists are often characterized as studying coins, the discipline also includes the study of medals, medallions, and tokens.
		Numismatists are sometimes differentiated from coin collectors inasmuch as the latter chiefly derive pleasure from the simple ownership of monetary devices, whereas the former are more concerned with acquiring knowledge about monetary devices and systems.
		Recently, this has exhibited itself in registry sets, where the most complete set of coins with the highest numerical grades assigned by grading services are published by the grading service.
