hi, i was just wondering if my 1883 Hawaiian coins would be considered world coins or US coins. thanks for any input.

For me they would be considered as world coins due to the date...liteside after it became a state...

Can't help you with that question but let me be the first to welcome you to the forum!

I would say equally both-- they are listed in the US Red Book.

Also Darkside because when they were issued Hawaii was a real country (unlike the current prolific NCLT producing Marshall Islands).

In a word, "Yes."

However, I see them as Dark Side rather than Liteside for the reasons Cacheman & Satootoko gave. After they became US territory, their coinage was Liteside and not their own.

I consider them dark gray.

I guess my Pre-WWI Philippines Pesos would be considered U.S. coins, then.

Frankly, if it isn't a standard US coin, only a few Litesiders would recognize it as one of "theirs."

True, but we on the darkside aren't bound by their parochial views.

We take in all that isn't US coins ... all that is unwanted by them in their narrow pursuit of numbered plastic with US coins in them!
