Was thinking about doing an album on here of banknotes and coins that have images of mountains on. Picked up a few nice ones recently showing Ama Dablam and Fuji amongst others and figured they might be worth sharing. Anyone else either a numismatist or just happen to hold on to such things as souvenirs when travelling about?

state quarters: california: 1/2 dome
colorado: longs peak
washington: mt r

Excellent idea. I have a 0.50€ coin from Slovenia with Triglav on it, and a 20 cents coin from former Slovak Korun with Krivan on it. Eurocents kept the same design afterwhile (from 2008). I'll scan them as soon as possible.
Finland's Euros also have lots of nature patterns on them but not precisely mountains.

The 1969 and 1979 issue of the Canadian $20 bill:

100 indonesian rupiah (seratus rupiah) banknote has the famous Krakatau on it

You could also throw in postage stamps, being that it's very rare that letters are (even) posted these days - some little pieces of HISTORY!

The NZ $5 note has Sir Ed and Mt Cook.

Here are some old coins with mountains:


East Africa, 1925



Guatemala, 1824



Argentine Confederation, 1843



Central American Republic, 1831

What a coincidence. I just picked up a quarter with Mt. Hood on it (yesterday). Will take a picture and post it!

Wow, great stuff! I've started an album here http://www.summitpost.org/mountain-mone ... mps/769281 if people want to contribute. Cheers.
