Some sad news...
The governor of the State of New York, George Pataki announced that there will be no WTC/9-11 museum at the site of the old World Trade Center to honor those who died on 9-11 in New York City.
The infighting became so heated between the families of the deceased WTC and the agency in charge of rebuilding the WTC site that they could not resolve the the building of a museum to honor those who died at WTC on 9-11.
I have been advised that the Firefighters 9-11 slabs as well as the other 9-11 exhibits will have to find a new home. Strangely enough, I have been told the Smithstonian have expressed an interest but cannot confirm if this is true. But then again, we coin collectors do not exactly have warm feelings for the Smithstonian to say the least!!!!!!!!!!
I welcome any suggestions.

I far as I've read, it in no way honor those who died there.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
Plus the museum would have been across the street in an abandon pizza shop not on the grounds.

We really need to be careful of loaded statements like that man, this can't be the whole story. What are the facts? NO one in America would ever deny a remembrance of those who lost their lives at the Towers site in NY on 9/11 weather it be a museum or whatever.
Those families whose loved ones were vaporized, where no remains can even be buried, where nothing material is left to say good by to, where people experienced horrible agonizing deaths, where no one thing from their entire life, trinkets, pictures, childrens drawings and art projects, wedding day photos is left at the site to remember them by, these people and their lost deserve a platinum tower that will stand forever at that site.

<< <i>Man: Isn't the museum you are speaking of..... a separate but for-profit museum? >>
Yes, but that idea lasted about a day there has been 35 museum site changes annouced and that is not including the actual one for the victims, that one is separate.
My first serious coin book, the 53rd edition year 2000 red book, came from the Borders bookstore in the mall under the WTC. I still had an order waiting to be delivered from them on 9/11. They reopened several blocks away.
I want that place alive and opened for business.
