Having just returned from a long tour of Spain, I purchased the following coin which depicts the aqueduct in Segovia. I also attach a photograph of the aqueduct I took a few days ago.

Can anyone else do the same?
Qualification:
1. You must own the coin
2. You must have taken photograph.

I had done a very similar thread in another forum a while ago, maybe I can revive it here... here are a couple from my trips to Germany some years ago

This one is a little funny, back in 2008, I made my first and so far only trip to Hamburg. On the last day, my friend had to work and I was left to myself wandering around aimlessly. Under the hot sun, I just had to plop myself down on the stairs of this random building. I look up and low and behold, this wonderful statue. I decide to go in and to my amazement, I find this 2 euro coin being sold in the porch of the church!



Here's another one from Dresden. Wonderfully oddball city.

Oh cool thread! I'll be watching for sure.
Please feel free to add something. The more we get, the more interesting it will become.

One of the most visited:




One of the less visited:
Battle of Kamanyola Bridge in 1964 as the Congolese Army led by Mobutu fought back rebel forces that occupied the city of Bukavu. Mobutu went on to rule the country for 32 years. His statue no longer stands here, but the monument remains amidst the wilderness. Rise and fall ...


You could find this monument in Google maps and Panoramio, some king of difficult quest ...

Indeed a great thread, I should take more photo's of buildings next time, usually it's only landscapes and old cars! :P

The Dragon of Klagenfurt

There is an ancient local legend about an insidious water dragon Lindwurm who lived in the swamps, before people came to settle the region. Lindwurm had been happily eating virgins and killing livestock, until he was eventually slain by a knight. The dragon’s swamps were finally drained, and the town of Klagenfurt was founded. So, when a giant skull of an unknown animal was unearthed in a local quarry circa 1335, the locals just knew it was Lindwurm’s.




Auschwitz KL

I have been to Auschwitz three times and have virtually the same photograph and I have the coin, but you beat me.

Definitely my most amazing trip, what emotion to see and feel the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing...

Not only do we collect coins from all around the world, we travel all around the world as well.
Perhaps we should start sending photographs to the various mints and getting them to issue coins with our special places.
