Home World & Ancient Coins Forum

A request...

I'm doing Graphic Products for my GCSE technology, and I'm making a pop-up book based on landmarks of the world.

My idea for the page numbers combines with my love of numismatics. I plan to use coins from the countires where the landmarks are located as numbers. So for instance, if Ayers Rock was on pages 4 and 5, I would use coins up to that denomination. So perhaps 4x1 cent and 1x5 cent etc.

So finally, my request. On these forums are many fantastic photographers. I would like to use some of your photographs for the numbers in my book. I will credit you if you so wish in my evaluation, but I just need some good calibre photos.

The pages go:

Houses of Parliament - UK - pgs 1&2
Eiffel Tower - France - pgs 3&4
Coliseum - Italy - pgs 5&6
Sydney Opera House - pgs 7&8

Ideally the coins would be around the era the landmark was constructed, although the Italian one will obivously have to be slightly later.

If you could post pictures directly in this thread, or email me or post links whatever, I would be very very grateful!

PS - I'll post pictures when I'm done

    Well, the era(s) of construction of the UK Houses spans from the 11th c. until the reconstruction of 1840-1888......

    Which era? At least, by George, they're all pre-decimal!! image
  • I'm going to make the Barry & Pugin 19th century creation so 1840s/50s

  • That's cool, but unfortunately no clear denomination. I think I can find a way to incorporate it though, thanks!

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
