Top 5: The unlikeliest Kennedy coin
Mongolia issued the 500 Tugrik coin in 2007, with the image of former US President John F. Kennedy displayed on the back. What is even more impressive, is that when pressing a tiny button on his chest, you could hear Kennedy himself recite his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" Speech. Once the coin was issued, collectors snatched up the largest batch of its edition almost immediately.
