The organization, World Monuments Watch, has published online its list of the 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World.

You click on the map and drag it to see the sites, then mouse over the white dots.

Allcoins - A Numismatic Search Engine and Directory

Allcoins is a coin search engine and directory. Numismatics is the proper name for coin collecting. Since Allcoins does not sell or buy coins, they can list all the different sites without bias.

It is an excellent resource for finding information on all types of coins and includes paper money as well. You can find ancient coins, US and UK coins and even links to coin shows and museums.

(This is a sponsored post, but I really recommend it!)
