I know this day is controversial, but I am old and will always consider it 'Columbus Day.' Besides, it was learning about him, along with a few other historical figures, that kick started my lifelong love of history.
Post your Christopher Columbus coins!

I don't know why everyone gets so worked up about Columbus Day. The day celebrates the event that happened on October 12, 1492, not the man. It really should be named something like "Discovery Day"

Someone should post these. The designs are pretty good, even though they are modern commemoratives.
