U.S. Mint Bald Eagle Coin

Question by jrddecker: GreenPeace Coins? Anybody know anything about them?
I have a set of Five GreenPeace coins. They are in a green holder the says greenpeace on the cover. Come with a little booklet about the animals featured on the coins. The coins them self are in execellent condition. About the size and weight on a silver dollar. Silver in color, I don't know if they are real silver or plated? They all have the GreenPeace symbol with the peace sign on one side. And the of side show a different animal or design on the other. A Bald Eagle, Harp Seals, Timber Wolves, Sperm Whales, and a Sisiutl. They say "GreenPeace 1979" on the top and on the bottom it says, "Currency Value One Dollar Expires April 30, 1979" I can't find anything about these. I have had them for years. I checked on ebay the see it anyone had tried to auction any off, and no one has in the last six months. I get nothing off of google. Anyone know where I can find info on these?

I will not be much help but they are actually medals. They fall into the category of local trade dollars. There are more Canada than here in the states but when a city or town has a special event say a 100th anniversary they produce trade coins that are good for a certain amount for a specific time. Greenpeace was big in the 1970-1980's for pulling stunts that got them in trouble with the powers to be. I am not surprised such an item exists. they would have used the money from sales to help their cause. I don't have their web site handy but google the token and medal society maybe they can help. I would say the medals are usually made of copper-nickel to look like silver. You can also google token and medal dealers , one of them may know. Hope this helps.

Question by Max: Would anyone know where this coin can be purchased or what it is?
I found a large gold coin with a the words "Florida Flamingo" (2 standing flamingoes on it) on one side and "National Wildlife Outdoor Series A" with a bald eagle on the other side. Would anyone know where to get more info about these? My kids think this coin is a 'lucky charm' ...LOL

It is a medal not a coin. It is gold colored and not real gold. This type item goes back to the 1960's when private mints and companies tried to get on the coin band wagon. Coin collecting was real hot then and even through the 1990's they tried to sell their wears. However the federal trade commission finally caught up to them and they had to watch how they sold them and could not call them coins. Unless the name of the company is on them you may never find out who made it. Values range from each in aluminum to a few dollars in brass or copper and for the dollar size silver ones. Hope this helps. Maybe it is a lucky charm for you or the kids.
