  Ironic post considering NASCAR returns today. Of course the car on your coin is of the INDY car/open wheel style of racing.

  Wow! So early mint engravers were not motorheads? That's very interesting. Good question. Peace Roy

  So essentially 1 car on a 2002 quarter...that's actually quite extraordinary all things considered.

  And I know there's that Model T-type car in front of the Treasury Building on the $20 bill.

  Looks like 3 cars and a trolley. Good catch. Peace Roy

  There's a famous Chinese coin depicting a car as its main feature. Anyone here have one?
