The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was one of the pivotal events of the 20th century. A symbol of division and mistrust, its fall not only hastened the reunification of Germany but ushered in a new era of peace and democracy throughout Europe. Now, to celebrate the historic 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Isle of Man has issued a stunning new commemorative coin. It depicts a portion of the Berlin Wall which has been torn down to reveal the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of Berlin’s resurrection. Best of all, the precious metal coin is displayed in a custom presentation case along with a genuine piece of the original Berlin Wall.

Ok, maybe it's just me, but it seems like if there's anybody who's going to be issuing a coin to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall, it should be Germany.

 

Not to be a party pooper, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released a coin to commemorate a particularly powerful sneeze the Queen had last week.

Aye, it was a big one! Worth a coin or two.

thing is ... it's not even clear that issuers like Man have killed the golden goose. they wouldn't keep issuing random commems if people weren't buying them.
