Old Money – a Peek Inside a Rare Coin Collection Spanning 2000 Years
Manage episode 419237902 series 3532684
Hidden away in the vast artifact collection at Sloan Museum is a coin and bill collection that spans 2000 years, dating from an ancient Roman coin dated 240 BCE, through American colonial coins from the 1600s and a $7 hand-signed bill in 1775, and up through the 19th century. Altogether, there are about 600 pieces that were primarily transferred from the Genesee County Historical Society. Sloan’s Curator of Collections Geoff Woodcox and co-host Sarah Dickinson, Registrar & Exhibit Liaison, go down into the Sloan Collections and bring out these rare coins for an interesting peek into geo-politics and history through money from the past.
