"Commemorative coins have been popular since the days of the Greeks and Romans. In the beginning, they served to record and honor important events, and in the absence of newspapers, they proved highly useful in passing along news of the day. Modern nations also issue commemoratives, which are highly esteemed by collectors. These special coins are usually issued either to honor historical persons, places, or events, or to help pay for the monuments or celebrations that honor them. Commemorative coins are offered in most instances by a designated commission and sold at a premium above their face value." - Whitman Publishing
