modern coins
Today's pocket metal
Modern coins are coins minted in recent history, typically from the mid-20th century onward, as distinguished from ancient or medieval coinage.
The term appears in numismatics to categorize collectible currency: She specializes in modern coins from Commonwealth nations.
Modern coins are generally machine-struck rather than hand-hammered, with standardized designs and precise specifications.
