<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 786000, member: 19065&quot;]I like really the design of these Netherland 5 Euro commems. I had only wished the little circle inside was designed more concave and bowl-like with a raised numeral. I can&#039;t tell if you are only photographing the silver coin but there is also a gold version as well. I love that this coin includes the name Manna-Hata, as the <a href="http://www.lenapeindians.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lenapeindians.com/" rel="nofollow">Lenape</a> people knew the island. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also check out the <a href="http://themannahattaproject.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://themannahattaproject.org/" rel="nofollow">Mannahatta Project</a> website. </p><p><br /></p><p>The city had a lot of celebrations this past summer for the 400th anniversary as well:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.hudson400.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hudson400.com/" rel="nofollow">Hudson 400</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.ny400.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ny400.org/" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.ny400.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ny400.org/" rel="nofollow">NY 400</a></p><p><a href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/home.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/home.php" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/home.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/home.php" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.henryhudson400.com/" rel="nofollow">Henry Hudson 400</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.exploreny400.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.exploreny400.com/" rel="nofollow">Explore NY 400</a></p><p><a href="http://www.dutchess400.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dutchess400.com/" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.dutchess400.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dutchess400.com/" rel="nofollow">Dutchess 400</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/11/arts/11festivals.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/11/arts/11festivals.html" rel="nofollow">400 Years Later, Another Dutch Island</a> [NY Times]</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, Walt Whitman&#039;s verse <a href="http://www.bartleby.com/142/161.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bartleby.com/142/161.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Mannahatta</i></a></p><p><a href="http://www.bartleby.com/142/161.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bartleby.com/142/161.html" rel="nofollow"><i></i></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
