Is there a reason U.S. coins do not show their value in numerals (1, 5, 10, 25)? Other countries do.?

In the 19th century we had a five cent peice with the Roman Numeral "V" on it.  Then some prankster plated them with gold and tried to pass them off as five dollar gold coins.  His name was Josh, and that is how the term for joking around came to be called "Just joshning around".

At this point you do not need an answer.  What you need is a more specific question.  You might want to look closely at whatever it is that you have for things such as denomination, date, signatures (if currency), mintmarks (if coinage), size ( if it is currency), design and other things like that.  Then someone, maybe even me, will be able to advise you properly whether you can get a book with values in it (which will mean that you understand how to place a grade or state of preservation number on each piece of old money).  The main thing is to never, never, never ever clean it.  Cleaning old money destroys the collector value and interest.  Good Luck, Vox

To answer this question, we must make some assumptions about meanings.  If we are talking about U.S. coinage (pennies) to weight (pound), which was my assumption, then the answer can come from a quick check on the Internet (or with real pennies and a good scale). A Web site I found shows that depending on how many pennies are pre-1982, you can have between 146 and 181 pennies in a pound.  The only other choice I can think of for an answser to this would be if we are talking about pennies in an English Pound, which would not consider weight (pound), but would, instead, consider only value (Pound).  That would make it 100, right?

Not necessarily. If you can turn them into decimals, sometimes it's easier to compare them.\nFor instance, 4/8 = .5 and 5/9 = .55. Obviously 5/9 is a little larger, and you don't have to do all the math.

It is worth at least the face value of the coin and can be spent as such. But collectors normally are willing to pay more for the coin. This site has price trends of commemorative U S coins and all other U S coins also. \n\nBut be aware. The coin value is based much on its condition.

They are simply based around counting on your fingers; fives and tens and are designed to be carved on monuments and so are mostly built of straight lines.\nThe problem with them is when you have something on the left of a number that you need to deduct, as with nine, for example.\nThat can be written as 5+1+1+1+1 (VIIII) or more economically as 10 minus one. Except the one comes BEFORE the ten: IX . That rule applies throughout, so IV is 4, XIV is 14, XIX is 19, XXXIV is 34 etc. \n\nOne tip a teacher gave me was to think of ten (X) as five (V) on top of another upside-down five. Works better if demonstrated with your hands!\nTo count to a hundred you will need the standard 1, 5 and 10 symbols; I, V and X, as well as L which is fifty (50) and C which is 100. So, IL is 49 and IC is 99.\n\nIt's really quite logical and you don't need to memorize much.

Coins at one time weighed the amount of metal that they contained's value.IE; Gold coins were worth thier weight in Gold, Silver coins (Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars) were worth thier weight in silver, Pennies were copper, 5 Cent coins were Nickel

you're a few years behind. German Marks no longer exist. They're replaced by euro. 150 US dollars are worth 117,34 euro at present.

years ago, you could turn in your currency for gold or silver.  My father had bills that you could do that....way before my time.  Take it to a coin shop they should know....I used to work at a bank and all they can tell you if it is real or not....not worth if it is more than $50

The 1 is in the 1000ths place:\n\nThere's no "1s" After the decimal. AFTER the decimal, it goes 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths, etc.\n\nUse this key for more problems you might have:\n1000s, 100s, 10s, 1s . 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths, etc

It looks like you have a 1932 Five Lati Crown slver coin.\n\nBelow is a link to a coin dealer that was offering the same coin for between $23 and $42 US.  I don't jknow if those are current prices.\n\nWith all coins - the value of the coin is related to the condition / wear of the coin.

although there can be some patterns seen in the numbers it is not a repeating decimal and can be taken out to a lot more decimal places then humans can calculate.  Also if you put it into fraction (22/7) that is the most accurate way to actually utilize the number.

I'm not sure what you are asking your question is not clear... but if you want to know what a dollar is worth... not much any more .... it could be divided into 4 quarters, or 10 dimes, or 20 nickles, or 100 pennies, or a combination of the above to equal 100 cents.  if this is not what you are asking i would suggest typing your question in your natural language, into a translator, and copying the English translation and re ask or edit your question to get the best response.  there is a free translator at the links below

The Hebrews probably first used coins in the Persian period (500-350 B.C.). However, minting began around 700 B.C. in other nations. Prior to this precious metals were weighed, not counted as money.\n\nSome units appear as both measures of money and measures of weights. This comes from naming the coins after their weight. For example, the shekel was a weight long before it became a coin.\n\nIt is helpful to relate biblical monies to current values. But we cannot make exact equivalents. The fluctuating value of money's purchasing power is difficult to determine in our own day. It is even harder to evaluate currencies used two- to three thousand years ago.  Have a look at the chart on the website pasted below.

Sounds cool, try this site\nhttp://www.coinsite.com/\n\nThere's a place where you can search "coin errors" and find out what they're worth.

They are being minted in equal quantities, so they will all be equally rare -- which is to say not rare at all.  When coins are minted for circulation, the government always deliberately throws a large enough quantity into circulation to ensure that the value of the coin is very, very near its face value.  Otherwise, the production of money worth more than its face value would cause inflationary pressure in the economy as a whole.  The cost, therefore, should be 25 cents.
