Silver Dollar-August 8, 2012

Today we drove 16 miles west of here to check out the Silver Dollar restaurant-bar-motel-gift shop-gas station that advertises they have 50,000 silver dollars on display. Well, indeed they do. They started collecting and displaying them in 1921. Supposedly they add 1500 each year, but we could not find the recent additions. There are some very old silver dollars and some not so old. It was very interesting to see that many silver dollars on display. It was worth the drive to see it.


The silver dollars are all over the place. And each one has the name of the person who donated it to the collection as well as the date of the donation.


I wonder if they are able to get insurance coverage on this collection?
