| Since ancient times persons and events have been remembered by the casting of coins and medallions. Coins are a lawful tool in commerce and have a worth. In modern times, the common worth of the coin has been stamped upon the coin. Medallions are not used as currency and are as such not as common.
For special events, The Salvation Army has also produced medallions. Even coin and medallion sellers are not always aware of this. |
