While many coin collectors are familiar with Odyssey Marine Exploration’s shipwreck offerings and their legal battle with Spain over the 17-ton bounty of Colonial-era silver and gold coins discovered last year, the world will soon see them in a new light — a 11-part HD TV series on the Discovery Channel.
Emmy® Award-winning JWM Productions will produce the prime time series set for a worldwide audience release in 2009. Production of the TV series is said to begin immediately.

Artist renderings of Guam commemorative quarter designs have been prepared by the United States Mint and sent back for review. And just as Guam residents were asked to help create the designs, they were asked once again by Governor Felix P. Camacho to cast their vote for a favorite.
“I encourage all residents to take part in the selection process,” Governor Camacho said. “The Guam quarter will be a lasting symbol of our heritage and our people.”
