Back in the day, who thought Zordon created the Power Coins? What about Ninjors links

An annual I have, in it's backstory section, referred to the green ranger coin as an 'ancient coin', that happened to be in Rita's hands. But it made me think, that referring to it as ancient meant that it was much older than the main six.

I've always just gone with the green ranger being a prototype ranger, with the main five being the final product. And I reckon Rita (well, Zedd probably...) stole the green ranger coin at some point, possibly before the main five were finalized. Meaning Rita was the first to have a power coin in her possession before Zordon. Then Zordon either found, or was given the rest of the coins when they were finished.

Presumably they weren't activated, because of that whole thing with it needing teenagers with attitude, or something. Which wouldn't happen until at least the 60s, with the whole post-world war 'flower power' freedom thing. Prior to that, teenagers didn't really exist, children just went straight to adulthood, and tradition back then left little room for 'attitude'.

What bothered me was the white ranger coin. It's heavily implied that Zordon created the white ranger, but it's never said that he created the Tigerzord or Saba, meaning they had possibly been around prior. But because of the radically different design in the white ranger costume, the in universe reason could possibly amount to Zordon having creative control over it. I'm torn on that front.
