Template:TFAIMAGE The Coinage Act of 1873 or Mint Act of 1873, 17 Stat. 424, was a general revision of the laws relating to the Mint of the United States. In abolishing the right of holders of silver bullion to have their metal struck into fully legal tender dollar coins, it ended bimetallism in the United States, placing the nation firmly on the gold standard. Because of this, the act became contentious in later years, and was denounced by some as the "Crime of '73".
By 1869, the Mint Act of 1837 was deemed outdated, and Treasury Secretary George Boutwell had Deputy Comptroller of the Currency John Jay Knox undertake a draft of a revised law, which was introduced into Congress by Ohio Senator John Sherman. Due to the high price of silver, little of that metal was presented at the Mint, but Knox and others foresaw that development of the Comstock Lode and other rich silver-mining areas would lower the price, causing large quantities of silver dollars to be struck and the gold standard to be endangered. During the almost three years the bill was pending before Congress, it was rarely mentioned that it would end bimetallism, though this was not concealed. Congressmen instead debated other provisions. The legislation, in addition to ending the production of the silver dollar, abolished three low-denomination coins. The bill became the Act of February 12, 1873, with the signature of President Ulysses S. Grant.
When silver prices dropped in 1876, producers sought to have their bullion struck at the Mint, only to learn that this was no longer possible. The matter became a major political controversy that lasted the remainder of the century, pitting those who valued the deflationary gold standard against those who believed free coinage of silver to be necessary for economic prosperity. Accusations were made that the passage of the act had been secured through corruption, though there is little evidence of this. The gold standard was explicitly enacted into law in 1900, and was completely abandoned by the U.S. in 1971. Template:TFAFULL
Today's Featured Article January 11
Template:TFAIMAGE The Lexington-Concord Sesquicentennial half dollar is a fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1925 as a commemorative coin in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. It was designed by Chester Beach. Members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation introduced legislation in 1924 to authorize a commemorative half dollar for the anniversary. The bill passed both houses of Congress and was signed by President Calvin Coolidge. Beach had to satisfy committees from both Lexington and Concord, and the Commission of Fine Arts passed the design only reluctantly, feeling he had been given poor materials to work with. The coins were sold for $1, and were vended at the anniversary celebrations in Lexington and in Concord; they were sold at banks across New England. Although just over half of the authorized mintage of 300,000 was struck, almost all the coins that were minted were sold. Depending on condition, they are catalogued in the hundreds of dollars.

Movement Learning and Leadership Development Project
Hello
The Wikimedia Foundation’s Community Development team is seeking to learn more about the way volunteers learn and develop into the many different roles that exist in the movement. Our goal is to build a movement informed framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are looking to speak with you, our community to learn about your journey as a Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and contribute to our movement.
To learn more about the project, please visit the Meta page. If you are interested in participating in the project, please complete this simple Google form. Although we may not be able to speak to everyone who expresses interest, we encourage you to complete this short form if you are interested in participating!

De strategie van de beweging: wat willen wij de komende 10 jaar bereiken? En waar moeten onze donaties naartoe?
Beste Commoners,
Afgelopen dinsdag zijn de aanbevelingen van de WMF-werkgroepen voor de internationale strategie 2030 vrijgegeven: tot 17 februari wordt aan alle taalgemeenschappen op alle projecten gevraagd om input te leveren, om zo samen te beslissen hoe we invulling gaan geven aan de strategic direction, zodat we met z'n allen zeggen: daar staan we voor en daar zetten wij ons voor in.
De aanbevelingen staan op meta: de introductiepagina en de de 13 aanbevolen doelstellingen ook een Nederlandse vertaling te vinden is. Op de diverse subpagina's van de aanbevelingen, vind je een pdf met de samenvatting, mocht je het liever uitprinten om op je gemak te lezen. Op Commons staat zelf een samenvatting van één pagina (Engels).
De Foundation vraagt aan jullie om naar deze aanbevelingen kijken en er op 3 verschillende niveaus over nadenken:
- Individuele context met gemeenschappen
- Hoe zouden de aanbevelingen jouw individuele werk verbeteren?
- Hoe zouden de aanbevelingen een uitdaging vormen voor jouw individuele werk?
- Lokale/Organisatorische/Afdelingscontext
- Hoe goed zouden de aanbevelingen beantwoorden aan de behoeften van jouw lokale of regionale context? (omvat zowel online- als offline-werk)?
- Welke uitdagingen voorzie jij in de aanbevelingen voor jouw lokale of regionale context (omvat zowel online als offline werk)?
- Wereldwijde context
- Wat zijn de voordelen die deze aanbevelingen voor ons als wereldwijde Wikimediabeweging zouden opleveren?
- Wat zijn de uitdagingen die deze aanbevelingen voor ons als wereldwijde Wikimediabeweging zouden creëren?
Natuurlijk worden jullie van harte uitgenodigd om hier van gedachten te wisselen, maar deel ook je gedachten en overwegingen met de werkgroepen op de diverse overlegpagina's bij de voorstellen: stuur je liever een mail aan het kernteam, dan zijn zij bereikbaar via strategie2030
wikimedia.org.
Na 17 februari sluit de consultatie, en wordt de feedback verwerkt door de werkgroepen. In april zijn alle chapters, user groups en thematic organisations uitgenodigd in Berlijn op de jaarlijkse Wikimedia Summit 2020, waar ook zij nog eens over de aanbevelingen zullen spreken en hun steun voor de plannen kunnen uitspreken. Zie ook de tijdslijn van de strategie op meta.
Vriendelijke groet, Ciell (talk) 11:16, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
