<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25384191, member: 4626&quot;]For the US my collection is basically almost complete.&nbsp; (I&#039;ll probably pick up the Columbus dollar eventually, I kind of forgot about it before and I recall talking myself into thinking it didn&#039;t really count lol, but my OCD side won&#039;t let it go, now.)&nbsp; I&#039;m kind of surprised as proud as the US is about their space program, that it&#039;s barely reflected at all in their coins.&nbsp; The Soviet Union/Russia sure wasn&#039;t shy about commemorating their space achievements in coins.&nbsp; I might get some of those eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Already mentioned I think that Texas and Florida, which get their turn in Innovation dollars next year, both plan on putting space related stuff on their dollars.&nbsp; Not sure what other states might be able to claim something space related was invented/innovated in their states, but might be a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I include currency I suppose I&#039;d have to get some MPCs that have space themes on them too, I do have one such already.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ironically the Marshall Islands has done more to commemorate the US space program than the United States has lol... I may get some of them, but something about their coins has always felt a little &quot;artificial&quot; for my tastes, like these were souvenirs made for collectors rather than &quot;true&quot; coins.&nbsp; (In the Marshall Islands they&#039;re not even truly legal tender, but in theory could be exchanged at some banks for money, which technically makes them more like tokens, strictly speaking.)&nbsp; I guess one can argue that&#039;s true of all NIFC commemoratives in general, but it just doesn&#039;t quite feel the same; hard to explain the difference in feeling really.&nbsp; But sometimes beggars can&#039;t be choosers if you&#039;re trying to find a niche subject in coins.&nbsp; And I have a lot of tokens, metals, and other &quot;coin-like&quot; things in my collection anyway so why not, I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
