Have you heard of "Coin of The Year"?

Well here are some of the top coins to be voted on.

Auatralia's Dancing Man

America's own Marine Corp Comm.

America's own Oregon State Quater.

Another American favorite. The Bison Nickel.

Germany's 10Euro Einstein Comm.

Also Germany's 100Euro Gold World Cup Soccer.

Australia's 20Euro of S.M.S. Saint George.

There is also the Belarus Silver 20 Ruple depicting an Easter Egg, and a Silver Two New Sheqalim honoring Moses and the Ten Commandments. Couldn't find pics of those.

The Dancing Man seems to be the most popular of all! It actually does a full circle when the coin is turned. Which do you like?

Of these shown and the other two described I prefer the Marine Corps Anniversary coin.

I would have to agree with you, Rey. The Marine coin has greatest appeal to me, also.

What's this "to be voted on" you mention? It sounds to me like it's a done deal.

Yes, from what I read, the Marine Corps dollar won.

There is a reason, I believe, these two mentions in publications about the COTY are different. We shall see which of them is correct. One of them is obviously out-to-lunch! We're only as smart as what we read, all too often.

So true so true. And to think I stayed up until 2:00am to try to post something I thought would be good. lol

The Marine Corps coin may not have won. There's a good chance they simply turned their competition into pink mist! Semper Fi

Well the Coins mag states the announcement of winner August 8th, but the NN link shows that the Marine Corp Comm won and the presentation will be August 8th at the convention. By the article, I really though they were steering towards the Dancing Man coin. It seemed to have been a very popular coin. But, Patriotism Prevails!!!!

I kinda like the obverse (?) of the Einstein.

No history here as a Marine, but I like the Marine Corp Comm. the best also.

Just thought I'd add my two cents!!
