Last updated: April 2026 dataCoins that are not gold and do not circulate as legal tender — including commemorative, numismatic, and collector issues in silver, copper, or other metals — are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (7118100000). Canada is the leading supplier, reflecting the popularity of Royal Canadian Mint collector issues in the US market, with China, Poland, Germany, and India also contributing. Classification hinges on two gating questions: whether the coin contains gold (which would redirect it to heading 7118.90) and whether it retains legal-tender status in its country of issue.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 7118.10 covers non-gold coins that are not legal tender, while 7118.90 captures gold coins and other coins not elsewhere specified. If a coin contains any gold content, it should be evaluated under 7118.90 regardless of its legal-tender status.
This is a recurring classification edge case. CBP generally looks at whether the coin actually circulates as currency in its country of issue. Many modern bullion coins carry a nominal face value but are not used in everyday commerce; importers should obtain a binding ruling or consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct heading before entry.
