My Visit to the Smithsonian Coin Exhibit

[Coins4Cheese]

Hi everybody. As some of you may know, I recently visited DC. Out of the many museums that I went to, one of the ones that I visited was the coin exhibit at the Smithsonian. Here are some pictures of some of the most rarest and interesting coins and bills in existence.

P.S. Sorry for the really bad quality on the 1913 V nickel. I forgot to turn macro on and didn't find out my mistake until after I left.

It kind of surprises me the metal actually touching the coin.

Nice stuff. How good was the security there??

It kind of surprises me the metal actually touching the coin.

I thought the same thing. At least it looks as if they used the same alloy as the coins so as to not cause a reaction.

Coins4Cheese - Thanks for posting some very cool pics.
