At the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, two large armored trucks pulled in, each carrying 500,000 silver dollars! They were all part of the One Million Silver Dollar Display, a very famous part of numismatic history. Three dealers decided to pile up as many Morgans and Peaces that they could and created this display which was up for nearly a year. In June 1963, the displays 1,000,000 visitor, a woman from California, received 100 of the coins. When the World's Fair ended, the coins were eventually sold separately or even by the bag.
Thanks for sharing that bit o' trivia coinmaster. I was twelve at the time and the only thing I remember about the "Fair" was the space needle....... http://www.numismaster.com/ta/inside_numis.jsp?page=BlogEntry&BlogEntryId=456
