Just Simmering Gold Coins Still Used In 1933 LAWN BOWLING SEASON STARTS IN WATERLOO Gold coins were made for currency in the United States as late as 1933, but as a coin of common use it lost popularity long before this. It was used as a gift or keepsake for a numâ€" ber of years before taken out of circulation as coinage. Today we use paper currency and toâ€" ken coins exclusively as money but the amount of this money ties in with the gold held in reserve. Official authorization of gold coinage varied as different deâ€" nominations were issued at difâ€" ferent times. Among the first coins in the United States was the two and one half dollar gold piece known as the Quarâ€" ter Eagles and they were issued in 1796 a year after the five dollar (Half Eagle) and the ten dollar (Eagle) coins were issued. The gold coins mentioned above do not include "Private Gold" which were coins in deâ€" nominations starting with a 25 cent coin on up. These coins were struck outside the United States mint and were used in some cases when money beâ€" came scarce due to the governâ€" ment being unable to supply demands immediately. This situation arose particularly in the western states. Other gold coins issued in the United States were the one dollar, three dollar and four dollar pieces, but none of these have been issued since 1889.
