$1 Billion of Rare Coins and Paper Money on Public Display

Seldom-seen national treasures from the Smithsonian Institution will be displayed for the first time in the Chicago area at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money(SM) in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Hall F, in Rosemont, August 16 – 20, 2011. The five-day educational, family event showcasing over $1 billion of the world’s most famous rare coins and colorful paper money will be open to the public.

Eye-opening, multi-million dollar exhibits include a unique, Gold Rush-era 1849-dated “Double Eagle” ($20 denomination) and other historic gold coins from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The U.S. Treasury Department Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s “Billion Dollar Display” will feature $100,000 bills and other rare, high-denomination antique currency. An extensive exhibit of century-old Illinois bank notes from private collections, never publicly displayed together before now, traces the financial history of the state.

The 1 cent coin has now reigned as the smallest denomination of coin for 154 years; well over twice the time of the half cent. Today it carries virtually no purchasing power and amounts to a loss of time in counting coins.
