Worldwide Bi-Metallic Collectors Club

Bi-metallic coins have been around since the 17th century, when a copper wedge was added to the English farthing to prevent its forgery. These modest beginnings, as well as the coin’s eye-catching present, are comprehensively covered by Martin Peeters and the other members of the Worldwide Bi-Metallic Collectors Club. Their website features a deep image library with countless photos of bi-metallic coins from around the world—be they euros or Philippine pesos. Canadian coins are especially well-represented, as are bi-metallic coins from China.
