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.

Please feel free to add something. The more we get, the more interesting it will become.

This is probably more fitting to the theme,
1 Cent coin with "

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

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

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.
