$1.00 Guitar Coins

Post by moxham123 »

These are actual $1.00 coins from the Somali Republic in Africa. Very unique coins.

GUITAR COINS FROM SOMALI REPUBLIC

The multi-colored Guitar coins have proved unbelievably popular with coin collectors, guitar enthusiasts, Rock 'n Roll fans and the general public. These multi-color guitar coins are designed after famous electric guitars. The coins are dated 2004 and were issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rock 'n Roll. The designs include the classic red and white Fender Stratocaster, an American Flag Stars and Stripes Gibson Flying V, a black Gibson Flying V, a pink star Guitar used by various rock stars including Gary Glitter and Abba, a blue Gibson X-Plorer and a yellow Klein. These six pieces complete the original series, though series has been so popular that I would not be surprised if some new designs are issued in the future.
The coins are 1 Dollar legal tender coins issued by the Somali Republic (though I seriously doubt any have ever circulated in Somalia). They are approximately 45mm (1.75 inches) long. We currently have all of the issues in silver plate and the American Flag guitar in copper-nickel. The designs of the copper-nickel and Silver-plated issues are identical.

dang, those things are reely cool. i always hated having change in my pocket, but i'd like to have those little guitars.

it would suck getting stabbed in the nad sack by a pocket full of gibson explorers, but i wouldn't even care that's how cool i think they are.
