[QUOTE="cherylkubucko, post: 497352, member: 9624"][URL]http://www.newyorkmint.net/home/searchbrowse/searchcountry/countrybritishvirgin/010541.aspx[/URL] After America’s—and the world’s—tragic loss September 11, something magical happened. U.S. patriotism soared and the world stood tall against terrorism. This world’s first, government-authorized, legal-tender coin also came together to honor lives lost, and as the severse states, “Lest We Forget”. Other commemorative medals followed, but no other currency has captured the moment, or American and Ally strength and resolve quite like this. The wreath surrounding the image of the New York skyline is a mourning wreath. The wreath symbolizes the sadness and mouning for the tragedy that day. Together Buckingham Palace and the New York Mint are pleased to introduce a coin that towers above all others.
