    A tangent of my paper money thread, please post your coins with ships on them. As a dad with a daughter in the US Navy, I am going to start a themed collection:thumb:

    I have this coin, but not nearly so nice. Also, I cannot find out if it is American or Liberian. It is generally called a token. If you are including foreign coins, nearly all the early Liberian coins have ships. Look at your wife's elephants.

    I don't own this coin anymore. I traded it along with a stack of cash for the proof IHC in my signature line. I loved this coin, the ship sailing on a rainbow sea.

    BTW, this is what Heritages photos looked like 8 years ago.

    Actually, I think World Coins covered this in their magazine that being given out at the NY Show. I only have one, the Va State Quarter. I have to dig out the image.

    I am almost willing to bet that Portugal is the country with more ships on coins. I don't have my collection with me nor scans of it, but I found a couple of examples:
