I’m looking up some of these coins from Israel and I don’t think I have the right location. For example, Google Map shows nothing of “Center of Town.” Even if there is a location by that name, and the coins were pressed from there, what type of place is it? Is it an attraction, an amusement park, a landmark, or just a retail store?

Over the Christmas holidays, I bought a bunch of coins from Israel.
They took months to arrive, but when they did, I had no time to scan and upload the pictures.
Now I’m slowly setting up the site for these additions. Now “Israel” is listed in the Image Gallery, but there are SQL error messages since I haven’t setup the districts yet.
There are 6 districts: Central, Haifa, Jerusalem, Northern, Southern, and Tel Aviv. It’ll take some time to figure out which city belongs to which district and create the appropriate pages for them.
Stay tuned.
I traded some of the Gettysburg coins previously. Living close by now allows me to fill the rest of the set. Both sets from the American Civil War Museum and the Old Gettysburg Village are completed on this trip.
When I got to Old Gettysburg Village, I found a hand cranked penny machine with only 3 designs. The last space where a design should be had an oval sticker with a question mark on it. I’m not sure if it was a marketing trick, but I guess it worked. Had I seen the design, I wouldn’t have pressed it since it was the coin that I owned already.

Wow… it’s been quite a while since I last updated.
I’ve been negligent since I started my new hobby, quilting, which takes up most of my time now 
But I’ll try to get better at uploading new images.
My friend Jason came to visit me from San Francisco, and we went up to Gettysburg today. I visited Gettysburg only a few months ago, but I really couldn’t think of a place to take him aside from DC which we’re going tomorrow.
Jason was kind enough to roam through the town with me, pressing pennies. I think I got most of them:
