New England Money
$1 new england coin, front
Nickel/silver one dollar New England coin from their recent "silverback" series. In 1890, New England went to rectangular coinage just to be different from the U.S. and Canada (though they have an "official" explanation of why this is better). Up till 1920, these coins were all silver, but with the 1921 pressing, they went to a nickel/silver sandwich to save money. Half, quarter, and tenth dollars are now all nickel, while pennies are copper/nickel.$1 Coin, actual size
