Exhibit re-opens with The World's Most Valuable Coin

Monday, January 10th, The American Numismatic Society Exhibit, Drachmas, Doubloons and Dollars re-opens to the public at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 Liberty Street, New York City. In August 2004, the exhibit was temporarily closed after a sudden Orange Alert from the Department of Homeland Security, which warned of "casing and surveillance activities" against major United States financial institutions. The ANS exhibit includes the exceedingly rare 1933 Double Eagle, the world's most valuable coin valued at $7.59 million dollars and on long term loan to the exhibition along with a Brasher doubloon, a 1804 dollar, a Confederate States half-dollar and an ultra-high relief 20-dollar gold piece designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. More than 800 examples of the American Numismatic Society's noted collection of one million coins, bills and other forms of currency used worldwide and spanning 2,700 years are also on view.
