jlueke Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Anyone have any coins featuring castles, buildings, bridges, or other landmarks that they have actually visited? I'm not sure if I do but I will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice places I might add Ahh yes, I've been to Lincoln's memorial Not to Monticello, there might be another one I've seen. I suppose if one counts Earth on the Ike's that would qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 That's a good question. Now I have to look at all my coins from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Russia, Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San_Miguel98 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 most of the coins from the places i've been don't have any major landmarks worth visiting, (flowers, numbers, palms), but the banknotes are a different story. borrowing from the banknote museum, i've seen the pictured landmarks on these following notes: bahrain - gold souk gate, grand mosque italy - triton fountain, st. peter's basilica korea - kyongbuk palace (the lake is overflowing with koi!)

tabbs Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Sure I've been to many places depicted on coins that I have. But the only coin (AFAIR) that I bought at the place which is shown on the coin is the US 1991 Mt Rushmore Half Dollar. Certainly not a bargain but a nice souvenir ...

mmarotta Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Lincoln Memorial U.S. Capitol Building Library of Congress Basel, Switzerland, Airport (have silver jeton commem.) Mostly, I am waiting for the world's Mintmasters to commemorate the places I have been, rather than my going to the places they think of. New York City has everything from The Empire State Building to the Brooklyn Bridge, including the Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Park Avenue, Greenwich Village, etc., etc. Kennedy Space Center. Chicago Museum of Science and Industry Hunting Morrell Mushrooms from Harrison, Michigan (much more, but not so interesting... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
