The internet is made of stuff

[yendi]

Two links that have turned out to be surprisingly useful in researching aspects of the novel I'm working on:

1. Cigarettespedia. Images of just about every brand ever (at least, all the ones I've needed to find).

2. Images of historical US coins and images of current coins.

One thing I discovered that isn't useful for anything:

There's a Twitter account whose sole purpose is to search Tweets for the word "pony," then respond with a reply message containing the phrase "Wheee!!! Pony!!!"

It doesn't actually show past US coin types.
I know there must be several sites that have images
from 1790 on (i don't collect US coins)
but you can still just simply go to the following and look at the list on the left.

Here you go. Scroll down to obsolete USA coins and click for photos
with full info on each type.
Though i remember some of these, mostly from the late 1800's,
still in circulation decades ago.

If it was ancient coins i could give you a hundred links :)

Third times the charm i guess.
Finally found a good image gallery
for all our coinage, simply click on the
denomination and it has click-on images of all the types.

Hope this helps your research :)
