The first coins featuring aircraft were issued by the Weimar Republic of Germany in 1930. The 3 Reichsmark and 5 Reichsmark coins featured the dirigible Graf Zeppelin and a total of 1,001,000 of the 3 Reichsmark coins were issued as well as 400,000 of the 5 Reichsmark coins. Since 1930, many countries have incorporated airplanes and other types of aircraft in their circulating and non-circulating legal tender coinage. At Black Mountain Coins we offer multiple examples of these airplane coins for your collecting enjoyment.

Benin – Convair 990 Coronado Aircraft – 1000 Francs CFA – 2002 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The Convair 990 Coronado was a jet airliner produced by the Convair division of General Dynamics, a “stretched” version of their earlier Convair 880 produced in response to a request from American Airlines. The 990 was lengthened by 10 feet, which increased the number of passengers from between 88 and 110 in the 880, to between 96 and 121 (depending on the interior). This was still considerably fewer than the contemporary Boeing 707 (110 to 189) or Douglas DC-8 (105 to 173), although the 990 remained some 25 to 35
Benin – Douglas DC-4 Aircraft – 1000 Francs CFA – 2004 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The Douglas DC-4 is a four-engine, propeller-driven airliner developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It served during World War II, in the Berlin Airlift and into the 1960s in a military role. From 1945 on, it has become the workhorse of civil aviation, with many aircraft still operating all over the world.
Benin – Douglas DC-8 Aircraft – 1000 Francs CFA – 2003 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The Douglas DC-8 is a four-engine jet airliner, manufactured from 1958 to 1972. Launched later than the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless established Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when much larger designs, including the DC-10, made the DC-8 redundant.
Benin – Fokker 100 Aircraft – 1000 Francs CFA – 2003 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner. Low operational costs and almost no competition in the 100-seat short-range class made it a best seller when it was introduced in the late 1980s, but improved models of the competing Bombardier CRJ200 and Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft affected sales and the Fokker corporation became insolvent. Production ended in 1997 with 283 airframes delivered. Today, many Fokker 100s still remain in service with airlines around the world.
The General Aviation GA-43 was an airliner produced in small numbers in the United States in the mid 1930s.
Benin – Lockheed Orion Aircraft – 1000 Francs CFA – 2002 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The Lockheed Orion was a single engine passenger aircraft built in 1931 for commercial airlines. It was the first airliner to have retractable landing gear and was faster than any military aircraft of that time. It was the last wooden monoplane design produced by the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.
