2009 - Holiday Toy Train Lenticular 50 Cents Coin

All aboard for Holiday fun!

Toy trains have long been a part of Holiday celebrations. Some believe it all began when regular passenger rail service became available in North America. Imagine how people of that bygone era must have marvelled at these extraordinary machines that could whisk them off to unknown places like magic. Suddenly, families could get together for Holiday celebrations as never before. Trains became a vehicle for childhood dreams and adult aspirations, and before long, miniature toy versions were being proudly displayed beneath Christmas trees.
