Various Hologram Coins to Collect

With so many beautiful holographic coins on the market, it is hard to know where to start! There are, of course, a full range of U.S. hologram currency coins, including the famous Silver Eagle dollar coin, with Liberty and the Eagle accented in shimmering colors, as well as the Statehood Quarters, reflecting 3D images of every state in the U.S. There is also the gold Presidential Dollar, which features silver hologram of each President, creating a unique look.

But that’s just the U.S! Canada and Mexico both offer a collection of hologram coins. Mexico’s Silver Libertad shows off the Angel of Independence with a gold hologram, in front of a colorized image of the Mexican flag. Canada has enhanced both its gold and silver $5 Maple Leaf coin with beautiful hologram detail.

We’re not done yet! Many companies have profited off America’s love of sports or pop culture icons, and have created hologram coins and tokens that feature some of the most well-known American icons in hologram!

With so many types of hologram coins to choose from, you will have no difficulty starting this branch of your coin collection. There are many reputable dealers online who sell hologram currency at a fair price.

Christmas, Numismatist Style

Come holiday time, don’t let your favorite coin collector slip down on your gift giving list. In fact, he or she is probably the easiest to buy for! A recent trend for dealers and collectors to invest in is a silver Christmas coin. Every year designers create new coins that serve as great collectibles and gifts!

Santa, angels, Christmas trees, and snowflakes on coins are diverse and beautiful, and covered with cheery holiday images. In spirit with the season of Noel, online dealers offer the coins in beautiful red or green display cases, and ship them gift wrapped to go straight under your Christmas tree!

And given that ‘tis the season for Christmas trees, the coins can be purchased in the form of a tree ornament, allowing all to see the shiny brilliance of your latest holiday coin.

An interesting British twist on the silver Christmas coin is putting a square shaped coin or token in a plum pudding. The lucky pudding eater who receives the coin in her spoon (hopefully discovering it prior to biting down) is said to have luck in the new year. This is similar to the King’s Cake tradition in Louisiana, which involves a plastic baby rather than a coin.
