Many Masons collect coins.
Numismatics is a natural extension to Speculative Masonry and there is a specific niche in the hobby that specializes in collecting Masonic Mark Master Tokens as well as other Masonic material. Many prominent Masons, particularly in the United States, are or have been featured on our Coins. Currently, George Washington is on the quarter and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is on the dime. The design for this quarter was originally intended to be a Commemorative issue minted only for 1932 in order to honor the 200th anniversary of Brother Washington's birth. Respect for Brother Roosevelt was at its highest in the nation following his twelve year term as President during this nation's most critical period of depression and war.
