Woah, what an interesting site! I'm a very amateur currency (mostly paper money) collector and have struggled mightily with creating a searchable collection index due to the differences in how various countries mark their currencies. I don't have anything particularly old, but have a bit over 1,000 individual pieces.<p>From time to time I need to rely on hours of searches all over the web to try to identify a particular piece or variation of a piece. It can sometimes just be too hard. These kinds of passion sites are what made the old internet incredibly valuable and I'm so glad they can still exist.<p>The text here about American paper currency is also really interesting <a href="https://creounity.com/apps/time_machine/?go=mints.php&lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://creounity.com/apps/time_machine/?go=mints.php&lang=e...</a>
Wow, I have been looking for a resource like this for years. I had put the question more in the form of, what year did they call it in Rome what we now call the year 1 AD? Now I know it's Augustus 30 or something like that.<p>I would like to see this in a timeline format where all the different eras can be shown along side each other.
