A shortened week of coin news is here with the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. The United States Mint is taking a break from releases — not only for this week but until mid-December, per its product schedule.
Of course, we’ll still have U.S. Mint-related news. Of particular interest, stay tuned for information about the 2014-D Enhanced Uncirculated Native American $1 Coin that just launched in the American $1 Coin and Currency Set.
Elsewhere in the world, look ahead for new coins from the Royal Canadian Mint and The Perth Mint of Australia. Until then, here are last week’s five most read:
