Coin on the Magic

[Soonerbaby]

Can anyone tell me where the coin is on the Magic? :)

On Deck 12, next to the entrance to the slides.

 

So, as you are about to go up the stairs to the slides, look right, and it is just there on the wall. Saw it last week.

Fantastic! Thank you! I didn't realize there was one on every ship. My kids will have fun finding it. :)

Anyone by chance have a picture of it?

So on every ship, there is a coin? Why? Just wondering. I will have to tell my group and have them try to find it on the Legend.

 

Anyone know where its at on the Legend?

 

What is on the coin?

I didn't know about this either but John Heald mentioned in his blog today the following (including a photo) - it's supposed to be a shipbuilding tradition:

 

"So, tradition has it that when our ships have been built a coin is placed into a glass box and welded somewhere on the ship. Many of you have had fun finding these coins and have had photos taken with them."

Here's the article about the one for the Magic. It gives a little history.
