This is were they display many of their old large cents, old quarters, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

Should I ever have a house with a study, unless the study was inside of a bank vault, I don't think I would show them off. :) Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 01:52 am Go to youtube and look for an old movie called "the Brasher Doubloon". In the first 10 minutes or so, there is a scene where the secretary goes into a vault that has a huge built in coin cabinet and looks through some of the drawers. I would love a set up like that in my house. Report this Post to the Staff
