	Vikings in Norway make their own Coins
		Among several thousands of coins of foreign prototype we find only three which with absolute certainty may be referred to as Norwegian: They are three pennies from Olav Haraldsson and which all were part of a hoard found at Stein in Hole in Ringerike (Norway).
		In the latter half of his reign the Norwegian king obviously has decided that minted silver was to be mixed with copper.
		During the intense striking of the inferior coins from the Haraldsslætten inflation the coin-images are being altered and "barbarized".

		We are always being asked for coins from a particular year as a special gift item.
		Britain, for example, reduced the silver content of its silver coins from 92.5% (sterling silver), after 1919, and further reduced this again after 1946 to zero, so that no British coins dated after 1946 were issued for circulation containing any silver.
		All silver coloured coins for circulation are now made from cupro-nickel, which as its name infers is an alloy of copper and nickel.

	[No title]
		The Kufic coins, as later the Anglo-Saxon and German pennies, were convenient pieces of coveted silver, not difficult to adjust to accustomed weight units.
		The archbishop of Niðaröss (Norway) was given the right of coining about 1220, according to a royal charter, although Norwegian coins of undoubtable ecclesiastical provenance are known only some fifty to sixty years later, when bracteates of a bishop's head facing were issued, most probably by Archbishop Jón rauði ("the red"; 1268-1282).
		The coin types clearly reflect the joint royal and episcopal coinage when the king, through his picture and/or symbol(s), occasionally with name and/or title, occupies one side of the coin and the (arch-)bishop the other.

		The 5, 10 and 20 cent coins have one pattern; the 50 cent coin is a polygon; and the heavier $1 and $2 gold coins use different milling patterns so you can tell them apart from the others just by running a fingernail along the edge.
		These coins are new and replace the old 50 dollar coins which were made of two different metals, a silver colored outer ring and a copper center.
		The coin did not have fractional parts and change was often made by cutting it into halves, quarters and eights (hence the storied "piece of eight"!) The 25c piece was minted for compatibility, and has stuck around ever since.

	Reader Values - The Nordic Hoard's Gold Mermaid Coin
		That's because in April of 1940, as Nazi bombs were flattening Norwegian cities, a handful of brave and determined men removed the gold from the Norwegian State Bank and began a month-long game of "cat and mouse" with the Nazis as they smuggled the gold to England.
		One of the most exquisite coins from this hoard is this 10 Kroner from Denmark that features a design of Dania - the spirit of Denmark.
		Because the curled tail of a dolphin resting at her feet makes Dania look like a mermaid, these coins are called "Gold Mermaids." Minted from 1873 to 1900, these coins are in Choice Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

	Dear Customer
		The complete range of six Norwegian coins commemorating the dissolution of the union with Sweden is now available to view by following this link.
		Each country is allowed one commemorative design per year, but the specifications of the coin and the common side has to be identical to the regular circulating version of the coin.
		The reason behind this curiosity is that most Euro countries minted sufficient quantities of coins in 1999-2002 to last for a number of years, and government demand for the coinage has decreased a little compared to earlier projections.

		As with most things euro-related, the selling of the mint has been controversial in Norway, with many people preferring it to stay in domestic hands - a factor driving the decision to sell half the shares to a domestic numismatist, as coin collectors are known.
