They turned the most common object in a person's pocket into a permanent monument of a nation's pride or a major world event. They started as political propaganda in Greece and Rome, used by emperors to broadcast military victories and divine right.

Ø      The 1892 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar set the standard for using coins to fund major public events and World Fairs.
