The world has a $10 billion market for coins, and this one’s a hot one.
That’s the number that comes from an April report from the Financial Times that calculated the value of the world market for US coins by comparing the price of the metal with the cost of producing them, as well as the value added by the mints to their economies.
It was a big deal, and it led to the formation of a new currency: the Pln, or the People’s Dollar.
