Coin Collecting - The Hobby of KingsCoin collecting news, information and commentary.Correction to yesterday's coin trivia- April 30, 2008 There was an error in yesterday's coin trivia. The error was in the answer to question 2, which asked, "A portrait of Simon Bolivar appears on the coinage of what Central American country" The answer was Panama. Michael wrote in to point out that Panama's coinage displays an image of Vasco Nez de Balboa, and the coinage of Venezuela displays an image of Simon Bolivar. I've made the correction and appreciate Michael's keen eyes.http://coincollector.org/archives/005286.html Coin Trivia for 29 April 2008- April 29, 2008 1.
