Current subscribers will receive a monthly copy of Coin World that will be incorporating all of the aspects of Worldwide Coins in a special monthly issue. On the plus side, current subscribers were receiving bi-monthly issues and will now be receiving monthly updates.

The honors of the 101st listing goes to the Native Indian Dollar authored by one of the sites administrators, GregA. Over the last two years the site has been rapidly expanding and as of this writing now consists of 101 coin descriptions as well as 48 articles, Forums & News Feeds.

Access to the site is completely free. There are no special member areas or "pay to access" areas. As a site created by collectors it exists to serve collectors, there is no profit involved. Annual & monthly fees to keep the site running are paid for by small advertisements which ensure the existence of the site for years to come. Anyone interested in contributing or donating content can join the site through a simple and painless registering process.

On a personal note, a special shout goes out to GregA for having the honors of this moment. As the main site administrator, I can't thank Greg enough for his contributions and involvement on this site.

Anyone that used to frequent the PCGS CoinFacts.com site there is some bad news. The pages have become static and will no longer be updated. Instead they now offer a new version (that will be regularly updated supposedly) but you have to pay $9.95 a month.

The demise of a yet another free site is slowly shrinking collectors on-line resources for coins. Rest assured that Typesets.Wikidot.com will remain free and be continuously updated. In another two months our site will be three years old and while that sounds young it's fairly old in the on-line world where sites are born and routinely abandoned within 12 months.

Based on the dramatic drop in overall mintages, 2009 is shaping up to be a key or semi-key year for all denominations. For collectors, this will add a little excitement to issues targeted for circulation as they keep an eye out for BU coins from banks or in pocket change.

From an economy health view this is not a pretty picture. A lack of coinage demand (especially dimes) is a reflection of people turning in coins to banks at a much higher rate, thus keeping more than enough coins available for business transactions. The economy is fragile enough where people are no longer taking loose change for granted. If this is any kind of early indicator then it may be more than a year before things start looking up.
