[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 2012501, member: 57463"]You can start with the Eisenhower and Susan B. Anthony dollars that honor Apollo 11. Many nations issued Non-circulating legal tender and other commemoratives. 10,000 grains of silver (22.8 ounces) sent to the Moon were mixed with about a million ounces and sold to collectors. [ATTACH=full]362783[/ATTACH] Lincoln Mint. Awarded to contractors at the Cape for work on Apollo. The medals were made from the booster stage that fell back. [ATTACH=full]362784[/ATTACH] In addition, the USSR made these both to celebrate its achievements and to deflect people from collecting coins. Hundreds of types are known. Often, the price is stamped on the back to discourage trading at a profit. They usually cost about 15 kopeks, like 15 cents relatively but more like a cent-and-a-half in reality. They are very nicely enameled extremely non-precious metal, about a centimeter on a side giver or take. [ATTACH=full]362785[/ATTACH] Yuri Garagin's flight, April 12, 1961.
