Which US coins do you know, on which you can read the time on a clock?
I have seen 2 different ones, maybe there are more.

That is a fun challenge @old. The only one that pops to my mind is the Kennedy half dollars issued for our bicentennial. On lightly worn specimens, you can see the clock on Independence Hall.


Added: if this thread takes off, then maybe we will move it over to the gallery subforum "coins with clocks".

Mike, I had not thought of the sun dial. I had the Kennedy Bicentennial half dollar with Independence Hall , and the 2019 Lowell quarter with the Boott Mill factory in the background.

Keith and Spence you got them. Good job.

I didn't see any on the 50 State Quarters. I would think a British coin has Big Ben.

1936 San Francisco Bay Bridge half dollar. The bell tower in the reverse foreground has a clock on it.

Hard to read the time though.

The Philadelphia Independence Hall originally appeared on the 1926 Sesquicentennial of the United States gold half eagle ($2.50) commemorative issue.
