NEW INVISIBLE COINS ISSUED

David Pickup of the U.K. forwarded this announcement yesterday. Thanks. -Editor

Dear Collector

Following the success of the new plastic banknotes it has been decided to issue a range of invisible coins. The new issues are much lighter for shops, businesses and the public to handle and will not wear out as quickly as paper or metal.

They are impossible to counterfeit because no-one has seen the originals to copy and there should be fewer arguments about coin design. A spokesman said,

“The public have noticed that money tends to disappear and we feel this is a move in the right direction.”

There have been previous invisible coins:

  • The Australian holey dollar was an attempt which only partially succeeded
  • Evasive halfpennies
  • Irish gonemoney
  • German unsichtbarthalers

Collectors may pre-order these coins. Just send £100.00 in cash – no cheques or credit cards accepted.

Ron Guth adds: writes:

I've been searching for an unsichtbarthaler ever since I began specializing in German coins in 1988 and I can honestly say -- I've never seen one.
