World’s most expensive coin set to go on display in Dublin

The world’s most expensive coin — the first dollar ever minted in the US — is to go on public display in Dublin next week.

The Flowing Hair Coin will arrive in Dublin amongst heavy security to go on show in the RDS on March 12 and 13.

The 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar is considered to be the first dollar coin ever to be struck by the US mint, and is the most expensive coin in the world after it sold for over $10m (€9.2m) at auction in 2013 to a private buyer — US businessman Bruce Morelan.
