NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 08/23/2019 2:46 pm I thought this might get some interesting responses from American, Canadian and Australian collectors, and maybe those from other countries. You probably know that the UK released a set of 26 'alphabet' 10p coins last year, each with a reverse design showing something supposedly related to the UK and starting with a different letter of the alphabet! Here is the full list... A - Angel of the North B - Bond.James Bond C - Cricket D - Double Decker Bus E - English Breakfast F - Fish & Chips G - Greenwich Mean Time H - Houses of Parliament I - Ice-Cream Cone J - Jubilee K - King Arthur L - Loch Ness Monster M - Mackintosh N - National Health Service O - Oak Tree P - Post Box Q - Queuing R - Robin S - Stonehenge T - Teapot U - Union Flag V - Village W - World Wide Web X - X Marks the Spot Y - Yeoman Z - Zebra Crossing ... and here are a few of the coins... So... if you were designing an A to Z set of coins for your country, what would you put on them?

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7935 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 1:34 pm Fun! The U.K. list looks like things that are symbols of national (as opposed to local) culture and history, avoiding branded products. So I would add these to jbuck's excellent start (maybe an occasional substitution), and avoiding our natural wonders which were already covered on U.S. coins: C - Cowboy D - Donut F - Football G - G.I. J - Jazz M - Marching band (or Moon landing) O - Old Glory (U.S. flag) P - Pizza (almost as American as the cheeseburger) R - Route 66 S - Statue of Liberty Edited by tdziemia 08/24/2019 1:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9379 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 8:18 pm Just for your information, Australia will have a set of A to Z $1 coins shortly. They won't go into circulation though (except through the Post office), so I think they will be tough to get hold of. Steve :) Edited by triggersmob 08/24/2019 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
