List of all Latin Monitary Union -country, year, mintage
by JadeDragon » Fri Mar 04, 2016 2:34 pm
Just found this useful resource. Appears to list every country and coin that met the Latin Monatary Union standards, with mintage numbers. Been looking for this info for a while and finally found it vis an old link on another forum. Saving here as a reference useful to many of us. http://www.unionlatine.com/lmu_all_countries.php

Great list. Everyone please note that this is Latin Monetary Union STANDARDS (ie, what coins would theoretically qualify) - only a handful of countries were officially in the Union (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and Greece). The list is so long because, in addition to coincidence (as in the case of US coins on the list), many nations made coins to the standard without officially joining the Treaty.

August 1866; its initial members were France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland, and they agreed that their national currencies should be standardised and interchangeable. There was no shared, single legal tender, but the currencies of the member countries were pegged at a fixed rate with each other.
Two years later, the four founding nations were joined by Spain and Greece and in 1889 the union was further enlarged by admitting Romania, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Serbia and San Marino. Thus the enlarged Latin Monetary Union lasted until World War I, which abruptly brought to an end the global financial system based on the gold standard. The result was that the LMU effectively came to an end in 1914, although it lingered on as a legal entity until its formal dissolution in 1927. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-1714037

The US coins that met the standard were not an accident but a test as I understand it.

It does appear indeed to be dead.

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
