<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 5300118, member: 102103&quot;]Interesting question!&nbsp; For historical figures on another country&#039;s circulating coins, the most likely would be Simon Bolivar.&nbsp; Though considered Venezuelan, he was involved in so many South American countries&#039; independence that he must be on number a number of coins outside Venezuela.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But for US figures, I&#039;m trying to think of someone notable enough as a cultural figure to be on a coin outside the US.&nbsp; I struck out with JFK, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Pershing, Roosevelt, Ben Franklin, MLK, Twain, Neil Armstrong, etc.</p><p>Just pick a name on Numista and add a filter for &quot;standard circulation coin&quot; to weed out all the commemoratives.&nbsp; I guess American isn&#039;t an old enough country to have many towering figures who have become so universal as to be suitable for placement on coinage outside the US.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
