There is.

People stamped these for each state and sold them as novelties. Obviously, they get back into circulation.

I have one from the 70's of the head of JFK looking back at Lincoln. It came with a fact sheet about the similarities of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy.

i recently found my first counter struck cent with a state on it. Alabama - also a 1990 cent.

1973 Lincoln Kennedy




1974 PA Lincoln



1971 Fra Mauro (Apollo 14 Landing site)



". . . there's a few boulders out my window. They're scattered around falling between here and Doublet. I see at about my 2:30 position, probably 50 yards out, a large boulder that's probably 3 feet across. There -- that's the largest one I have in field of view, or at least, in my near field of view. And there are two or three others perhaps half that size -- or appear to be half that size in the same vicinity, just a little, little beyond, about 2:30 on the clock code and perhaps 50 meters to the largest one and then another 10 to 15 to the other big boulders. They don't seem to form a pattern that I can see. The color that we're looking at is a kind of mouse-brown or mouse-gray. And obviously, it changes with the sun angle. The surface - well, there are numerous craters in my field of view. Some old, very subdued, some overlapped by newer craters. Some that seem to be relatively recent. Most the surface, however, seems to be fine grained. Incidentally, I do see some linear features on the surface. Very small, fine linear features. I do not think that they are erosion patterns; they may be. However, I can see a suggestion of them quite a ways away from the LM, kinda running parallel to those that I can see, and we'll have to talk about it later when we get out."

It was an excting time to be a kid.

(Ha! I turned them over and noticed they still hve the card glue on them. I remember removing them from the cards but forgot that I didn't try to remove the glue.)

Here's where memory gets a little cloudy.

I recall a bus or trailer of some sort coming to town after the moon landing but I don't remember what year it came. They had information and, wait for it...MOON ROCKS on display!

I recall them offering souvenirs but I believe all I got was a first day cover for the moon landing.

I remember wanting all of the available mission stamped pennies but do not remember where they were offered or how many there were. I am sure I had enough money for one - so one is what I got. At the time, I thought the Fra Mauro one was the coolest.

14 landed at 13's intended landing site

Interesting, chickenboy

199?

Coincidentally, I saw a couple of these in my dealers box yesterday that were stamped with an Apollo mission stamp of some kind, when I asked him just shrugged.
