ONE CENT Sculptures at park

Hi all,
This morning I was walking with my girlfriend at the beautiful park called Battery Park located at the southern tip of Manhattan. As I finished looking at a small pond filled with Koi fish I looked down and saw these pretty neat sculptures that were embedded into part if the path we were walking on. For some reason they only showed the Reverse side of the Cent. Enjoy

Can you see the Intrepid from there Paddy?

Nice shots.........

 

Pretty cool path - what size were the "cents" and were they cast from bronze?
I could see somebody trying to pry them out and take them home!

 

C'mon......no one does anything like that in NYC........

 

Weird, why not just use actual bronze memorials?

Do they remind anyone of money you would see on the Simpsons or something

 

You've never been to 'China Town', have ya buddy........

 

I think Tom Otterness made Cent sculptures pretty popular in New York.

Reminds me I haven't been there yet this year. I gotta plan a daytrip.

 

I think about 4 to 6 inches across

 

Forgot the tire iron?

 

Easier to draw.

 

They're cool but kind of odd or random being there like that.

 

Does a person have to walk through Assault Park to get there?

Sorry, seeing how it is NY.

 

NYC, these days, is possibly the safest city of its' size in the world. I feel safer on Manhattan than I do in my own neighborhood.

 

My wife and I spent a week in Manhattan a few years ago. We felt very safe the entire time we were there.

I miss being able to get a prosciutto sandwich on every street corner in Manhattan! One day I had a prosciutto sandwich for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was magical

 

It took a few years for me to respond but the answer is no. It's on the west side of Manhattan further up north.

 

I thinkI missed this thread when it came up 3 years ago. But in answer to why no obverse: this is government property; by not showing the "In God We Trust" motto, you probably avoid a lot of controversy.

 

The Reverse, or one of them, since 1959, depicts the Lincoln Memorial for the (hold your breath !) sesquicentennial of his birth year.

 

Wear a mask when you get them tonight

 

Can't see you passing up ground change. Did your girl have to pull you away

 

I love your stories. @paddyman98
