Anyone view the mints via Google Earth?

I have compiled a list of world mints, printing companies and Central Banks which I am very satisified with. In fact, I just counted that I have recorded some 247 links which you can view here: http://www.gxseries.com/worldmoneylist.htm

The next step is actually to find where they are geographically located. It's pretty funny how many people talk about hot coins and yet barely mention about where they were produced from. Some examples can be seen here: http://www.gxseries.com/worldmint/0world_mint.htm Perhaps if you are going overseas or even travelling to the Mint of your home country, I hope it will become to use.

I have tried to located some of the US mints on Google Earth but appearently my knowledge of American geography is as good as starring at the night sky and blanking out after counting a few stars. Any help will be appericiated, especially some of the older mints such as the Carson mint.

Just type down the coordinates and I will update the page as soon as I can - thanks in advance! :hail:

Cheers

All I had to do was type in Philadelphia mint and there was an arrow pointing right to it. That is on Google maps, not Google Earth.

 

they're just big buildings, its not as if you can see the coins being minted

 

The man said;

I told him how I found it. I did not say the was anything exciting about it. Incidentally, "Carson City mint" also worked for that mint.

 

I'm going to go look at Fort Knox and Area 51.

The Mumbai Mint (one of the 4 indian mints)

 

i think i'll check out pcgs and ngc and see exactly who's grading my lincolns!

 

Thanks jaytant, I'll look it up tomorrow - sorry, got too blown doing other mints. Do check it out, there are a fair amount of mints this time. And yes, hopefully I did get most of the US mints right.

 

Careful 'google earthing' places like that, may end up on some watch list. :whistle:

 

Big Brother Is Watching You

It's true that this government has nothing better to do than to watch coin nerds watching coins.

 

Lol, that is what I was thinking. Might get the secret service watching your IP address *wink wink*

 

I do have a "file", already.


BTW....

You can see Area 51 REALLY well on Google Earth.
