Talk:Twenty-cent piece (United States coin)

Untitled
The US was also considering joining the Latin Monetary Union with the dollar at 5 Francs. If they'd done that, then 1 Franc would've been exactly 20 cents. Was that part of the motivation? -- Nik42 04:39, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It is one theory. See:, however, I believe by the time the coin actually came into production the idea had been dropped. Splarka 05:36, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proofs
The lede seems slightly confusing. Proofs were struck in all 4 years of this coin's run. The statement, "for circulation in 1875 and 76 and for collectors the following two years" seems to indicate that proofs were only struck in 1877 and 78. Joefromrandb (talk) 06:27, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Minting twenty-cent coins again
Does anybody thinks they have plans to mint the twenty-cent coins again — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.222.219.230 (talk) 05:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No, the coins Americans will accept right now are pretty set. I don't think will ever be minted again, except as a commemorative (the 150th anniversary will be in 2025)--Wehwalt (talk) 15:38, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
