<p>[QUOTE="largecent37, post: 1474371, member: 35157"]Last week I was vacationing in Bermuda and I visited the Maritime Museum. I don't know if any of y'all have been there, but it is built adjacent to an old fort on the Royal Naval Dockyard and it is a great site for history buffs. The fort is full of labyrinthine tunnels and has all kinds of war and maritime exhibits. On the grounds is the Commissioner's House, which has a coin room and a banknote room. As the number of pieces containable in a single room is quite limited, this is is obviously not the main attraction. However, the museum in my opinion had a very nice collection of coins from Britain and British commonwealths. There were some cool coins from the colonial days that I found interesting. There are also some U.S. coins on display, including old gold and silver pieces and privately minted gold. I had a lot of fun and I recommend this site to history and numismatic lovers.</p><p><a href="http://www.bmm.bm/map.htm#visiting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bmm.bm/map.htm#visiting" rel="nofollow">http://www.bmm.bm/map.htm#visiting</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
