[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 2241458, member: 54140"]A couple of weeks ago the Canadian Human Rights Museum was hosting an exhibit on the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see both of these documents. Unfortunately, we were unable to take any pictures within the exhibit for the usual reasons. To see this exhibit visitors were also required to purchase a ticket for the Human Rights Museum. It has been open for over a year now and I still hadn't taken the time to walk over and explore the museum. I wasn't able to see the full museum due to time constraints and will have to go again but one of the first exhibits when entering the museum, to my surprise, was a Roman coin! The information on the coin was lackluster and focused more on Romans who showed tolerance to other people. The coin itself appears to be on loan, or donated, by the ANS and is easily recognizable (for those of us who collect). I was able to snap a picture in this section but it is not the best quality at all. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Sq4QVBl.jpg[/IMG] Has anyone else found an ancient coin in a place they wouldn't expect?
