<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougmeister, post: 2121409, member: 56842&quot;][USER=70703]@phankins11[/USER], we tried to squeeze three museums into one day and it was a bit much (Natural History, American History, Air &amp; Space). Didn&#039;t make it to BEP (much to my dismay). The &quot;Money&quot; exhibit at the (American History?) museum was *very* cool, but as others have said, was disappointingly small.</p><p><br /></p><p>Highlights were one of the Smithsonian&#039;s two 1933 St. Gaudens Double Eagles, a 1907 pattern high-relief St. Gaudens Double Eagle (fewer than 2 dozen struck), a nice Fugio and a Nova Constellatio, a $100,000 note, and a 1652 Pine Tree Shilling.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was also disappointed that *many* of the coins, even in this small display, had been replaced with cardboard &quot;object removed&quot; placards.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, we were walking down (Constitution Avenue?), when we saw police cars blocking traffic at an intersection. It was around 3 p.m. I think. We hung around for 5-10 minutes and got to see the presidential motorcade drive by. A few of my kids saw the president; I did not. <font size="2">(And yes, that *is* my thumb)</font></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]402157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
