This week's E-Sylum has an article on how the Korean Mint, with declining demand for circulating won coins, is moving towards producing more, and more advanced, commemorative coins.

So I wonder - how do you collect? or what are you most intererested in? Circulating, non-circulating, or a mix?

Gads -- gold spray-painted sneakers and now commemorative coins? Donald Trump really is desperate since his fund-raising is such a failure compared to Kamala Harris.

Yesterday, a new #commemorative space opened, providing information about members of our #university who were dismissed, expelled, and persecuted by the Nazi regime. You can visit the #memorialsite on our main campus: http://go.tum.de/403647

This is my favourite #coin in my tiny coin collection.

It has little value, but it’s historic & the design looks great.

It’s the U.S. 1893 #ColumbianExposition #silver half dollar.

5 million were minted, but half were later melted down.

It has the distinction of being the first U.S. #commemorative coin & the first U.S. coin to feature a historical# person - #ChristopherColumbus.

And for you #TemperanceBrennan (#Bones) fans out there, it’s the coin that her father stuffed in the mouths of the men who tried to kill his son. (Season 2, episode 11)

Last week I was inundated with ads for Eclipse coins. After some research, it turns out all the facebook ads were fake (who would have guessed!) stolen from the real mint who designed them. If you are interested in the eclipse coin, go to the Shire Post Mint and order direct: https://www.shirepost.com/products/2024-total-solar-eclipse-commemorative-coin-copper-and-brass

On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space, launching to orbit aboard the Vostok 3KA-3 (Vostok 1).

Depicted here on a 1981 Russian Ruble coin commemorating the 20th anniversary of that flight.
