[QUOTE="Jordan Lott, post: 2503142, member: 81422"]Hi all I am producing a Coin Documentary working title “History of the world through coins” It will initially be a six part one hour program and hopefully a second series as the Americans want thirteen parts for a season. Each episode will have various stories based on particular coins in an entertaining manner but will also include numismatic teaching i.e. How coins are made, design,metals,new, old, modern and especially collecting. I want to re-engage the public with coin collecting and especially the young. It will be fun and show coins in their place in history and also how they made history. It's time to get people talking about coins again. Sir Tony Robinson is the presenter and I've made a teaser and then a 45 minute pilot. We travelled to Vancouver in Canada to discuss whether Drake made it there or not after a rare EdwardVI shilling was found in a bay. Gibraltar to discuss the Vigo story below The USA to tell the story of Martha Washington and her silver service being melted down for some of the fledgling countries first dimes. Starting in the Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge. Click on the link below to a very short teaser [MEDIA=vimeo]144262931[/MEDIA] I have forty or so good stories based on particular coins and am looking for more. The coin itself must have History The story must be of general interest The story needs a hook to catch the audience If it came into your or the owners hands in a interesting/exciting way To give you an example 1703 Vigo 5 Guinea Sir Admrial Rook Capture of Gibraltar Failure to capture Cadiz Battle of Vigo bay Capture of Spanish and French Men o war Capture of Gold and Silver from the Americas Triumphant return to Queen Anne Sir Isaac Newton and the modernization of the mint Only 20 5 Guineas struck Possibly 7 know to exist Widow finds one in late husbands sock draw Gets £300,000 at auction That's a great COIN STORY Put your thinking caps on and post some ideas please Jordan Lott Viceroy Coins[/QUOTE]
