Sorry Ripley, no time to rummage around the safe for new pics (hate removing coins from air-tites); but here are some hats (From my growing archive)that I definately would not go out in...

 

Still looking for a particular photo.

Here are a few:

 

The Indian head dress is a cool hat.

Nice hat!

The ancient coin depicts Athena. She is wearing a Corinthian helmet on the top of her head. If you pivot the hat then it becomes a facemask to protect Athena's face in battle. The other side of the coin is the obverse of the coin depicting Pegasos.

The USA winged Liberty dime should need little introduction. :smile

This is Till Eulenspiegel ... his "hat" is a fool's cap, so it's supposed to look silly or funny. The anniversary (500 years) refers to the publication of the book. We don't know for sure who the author was, and whether Till was a historic figure at all.

The Smurfs were even commemorated on a Belgian silver coin in 2008. I don't have that one though.
