Editing Commemorative coin (section)

== Subcategories ==
Commemorative coins can be seen as being of one of three types:

*''[[Regular issue coinage]]'' are the normal coins intended to be used in commerce every day and are typically issued with the same design for several years, e.g. [[euro coins]].
*''Circulating commemoratives'' are intended to be used for commerce, but the design will only be issued for a limited time to commemorate an event, anniversary, person or location, among other items. Examples include the [[€2 commemorative coins]] and U.S. [[50 State Quarters]].
*''[[Non-circulating legal tender]] (NCLT)'' are coins which are [[legal tender]], and thus can in theory be used to purchase goods or services, but are not intended to be used in such a manner. Rather, they are intended as collector's items with [[Numismatics|numismatic value]], and are often produced in [[gold]] or [[silver]], either in uncirculated condition or with a [[proof coinage|proof]] finish.
