Although not every country has issued coins featuring railroad engines or railroad themed coins, the Isle of Man issued a series of legal tender railroad coins in 1998 and Liberia followed suit with a series of railroad themed Five Dollar legal tender silver coins in 2011. Other countries that have issued single coins include Albania and Mexico. We have several railroad coins on this website for your enjoyment and add more from time-to-time as they become available.

Princess Coronation Class Locomotive No 6233 Duchess of Sutherland was built in Crewe Locomotive Works by the London Midland and Scottish Railway Co. Ltd. and entered service in July 1938. She was active for the next 25 years until her retirement from active service in 1963. In 1996 she was purchased by the Princess Class Locomotive Trust and in 1998 a complete overhaul was commenced which eventually wound up costing over one-half million Pounds Sterling. The reconstruction was completed in 2001 and the locomotive is again seeing service and is expected to be active until 2007.
