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.
