| Description | [back] The Coin Cabinet U.S. Mint, Phildelphia. In 1839, Congress made an appropriation "for the establishment of a National Coin Collection." Every year since, the U.S. Mint reserves examples of current coinage for inclusion in the collection. When this picture was taken, circa 1903, the collection was displayed within the Mint itself. Today, the National Coin Collection is housed and displayed within the Smithsonian Institution. |
