Coins from all over the world, marked on a map powered by big names like Pinterest and Foursquare, This could be FUN!

While building my map I placed each coin based on mint location, popular city, or content of the coin if location specific. The map was response and worked well with social plugins across the board. All the coins on this interactive map are back linked to Obscure Finds Numismatic Coin Collection Database, where you can find more specific information about the coin you chose to learn more about...


From the Creative Team At Pinterest

Over the past year, we noticed more and more people were using Pinterest to plan trips and collect their favorite places around the world. We decided we wanted to make that process better through Place Pins, which let you add a map to any of your boards.

To help people learn more about how we work at Pinterest, we wanted to share the story behind Place Pins. Building a location-based product is a huge undertaking that can take many years to get right, and we wanted to make something that was beautiful, useful and different from other products right out of the gate. A small team of engineers and designers set out to figure out how we could accomplish this. We’re still planning to add lots more to the product, but we’re proud of what we’ve done so far.
