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.
Issued in 2003 as part of the modern commemorative coin series from the United States Mint. This legal tender One Dollar coin has been authenticated, encapsulated and graded MS-69 by PCGS, one of the leading third party grading services.

It was first manufactured in 1965 with its maiden flight later that year. The DC-9 was designed for frequent, short flights. The final DC-9 was delivered in October 1982.
Chad – McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Aircraft – 1000 Francs – 2002 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a medium- to long-range wide-body airliner seating up to 380 passengers. The DC-10 emerged in the late 1960s as the first Douglas wide-body airliner and it was the second wide-body jet reaching operational status after the Boeing 747.
Although it was the darling of the jet-setters, the Concorde proved to be a commercially non-viable form of transportation. This Brilliant Uncirculated crown would be a nice addition to any collection of aeronautic or world coins.
