The Saint-Gaudens Double eagle, all 4 denominations of gold ealgle bullion coins, the 1994 Capitol commemorative dollar, 2001 Capitol visitor center dollar and half (if you count the outline of the capitol as is wasn't completed), I'm not sure if you could count the half eagle on that set as the traditional capitol isn't shown, just the visitors center, 1989 Congress half eagle. That's all I can thnk of for now, perhaps I'll find more later.

Since the term for a town or city that serves as a seat of government is spelled "capital," while the term for the building in which a legislative assembly meets is spelled "capitol," this question poses a bit of a dilemma. Does the question really mean capital or capitol?

 

I'm going to assume the question intends to refer to the physical United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C. and not to Washington D.C. itself (which would require that the answer include coins on which such structures as the White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial have appeared).

 

Here's my list of coins on which any part of the United States Capitol building has appeared:

• $50 American Gold Eagle (all years, proof and uncirculated)
  
• $25 American Gold Eagle (all years, proof and uncirculated)
  
• $10 American Gold Eagle (all years, proof and uncirculated)
  
• $5 American Gold Eagle (all years, proof and uncirculated)
  
• 2001-W Gold $5 Capitol Visitor Center (proof and uncirculated)
  
• 2001-P Silver $1 Capitol Visitor Center (proof and uncirculated)
  
• 2001-P Clad 50c Capitol Visitor Center (proof and uncirculated)
  
• 1994-S Silver $1 U.S. Capitol Bicentennial (proof)
  
• 1994-D Silver $1 U.S. Capitol Bicentennial (uncirculated)
  
• 1989-W Gold $5 Congress Bicentennial (proof and uncirculated)
  
• 1989-S Silver $1 Congress Bicentennial (proof)
  
• 1989-D Silver $1 Congress Bicentennial (uncirculated)
  
• 1989-S Clad 50c Congress Bicentennial (proof)
  
• 1989-D Clad 50c Congress Bicentennial (uncirculated)
  
• 1907-1933 Gold $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle (all mint marks, proof and uncirculated)
