MORE ON MARILYN MONROE "COINS"
Last week, an article about a student numismatic display in India mentioned "a rare coin of the US with an image of Marilyn Monroe issued in 1962". Curious, I asked if anyone knew what "coin" this might be. Pete Smith forwared an image of a 2006 piece commemorating the actress' birthday. He writes: Marilyn is a popular topic for private mint issues. I suspect there are quite a few. I have seen a recreation of her Playboy photo on one ounce silver rounds and one ounce bars. I have seen enough to believe there is more than one version of these. We can't know what the kid's coin display included without a picture or better description.
