The U.S. Mint has been authorized by the U.S. Congress to produce a variety of United States Commemorative Coins over the years. These coins are produced to commemorate (celebrate and/or honor) people, places, events or institutions and are usually divided into Old (1892-1981) and Modern (1982-present) coins.
There have been many people that have been memorialized on U.S. Commemorative Coins. In recent years, famous people like Benjamin Franklin, Chief Justice John Marshall, Thomas Edison and Leif Erickson have been honored. In 1992, Christopher Columbus was commemorated on a Commemorative Gold Coin ($5) as well as a Silver Dollar and half dollar. Older examples of people commemorated include Queen Isabella of Spain, Daniel Boone and Ulysses S. Grant.

For the most part when it comes to commemorative coins the United States Congress authorizes commemorative coins that lionize and honor American individuals, places, events, and institutions. Although these coins are legitimate tender, they are not coined for common circulation. Each commemorative coin is produced by the United States Mint in closed quantity and is only accessible for a specific amount of time. As far as I can tell the World Trade Center coins found underneath the Twin Towers have yet to become a part of the Mint coin program, frankly I don’t really understand why! However, these coins are a part of another program; the PCGS also known as the Professional Coin Grading Service. These coins in particular can be worth a lot of money (from a few hundred on up to a few thousand), so under advanced security measures the coins were loaded into Brinks Armored vehicles and sent to Collectors Universe a parent company of the well-known PCGS.

Working in my dad’s gift shop twelve years ago, I was amazed at the craze formed by TY with the creation of their beanie baby range. At the height of their popularity, I’d be lucky to count ten minutes between taking the soft toys out of their delivery box and popping them into a carrier bag at the registrar, ready to be taken home by yet another excitable customer. With a fan base ranging from toddler to grandparents, a sense of hysteria occasionally swamped the store and often left me feeling more like I was at a pop concert than in a small gift shop in the heart of Suffolk. So what was it that led to the cult of TY beanie babies and that still exists today, fifteen years later?

I’m sure we all still remember the World Trade Center bombings that happened on September 11, 2001. But there is a story some of you may not know of or may not have heard of. Unbeknownst to millions of Americans when the Twin Towers fell on that dastardly day, no one expected to find anything salvageable, yet alone anything worth any real value. Inside the World Trade Center vaults was a vast accumulation of investment grade Silver, Gold and Platinum held by a assortment of fiscal institutions from around the globe including places such as the United States, Arabia, India, Germany, Russian and the United Kingdom!
