Trivia question of the day: Where was I?

MrEurekaMrEureka Posts: 24,253 ✭✭✭✭✭
I saw the following coins today:

1933 $20
1804 Dollar
Original Plaster Cast of Lincoln Cent Obverse by VDB
Superb Gem Proof 1921 Peace Dollar
Choice Proof Original Confederate Half Dollar
(Edited to say I almost forgot the Brasher Doubloon!)

Where was I? Not just the city. Whose building? It's a shame that this really is numismatic trivia. Cryin' shame.

    Federal Reserve Building, New York, William Street.

    The same building where the bad guys in Die Hard III tried to dig a tunnel underground to steal all the gold.

    You were right until you said it was on William Street. It's on Liberty Street. But I guess you still win. image

    The coin exhibit is online if anyone cares to check it out. It loads slowly, but it's worth it.

    Beat me to it, Seth. I went there and took the tour down to the gold vault after seeing the coin exhibit at the Fed. According to the guide, the subway is not at the same level as the gold vault, so a little poetic license for the movie.
