“Landmarks of America” Coin Game was a promotional game issued by the Sun Oil Company in 1969. This was an instant winner game with collectible game pieces. With each visit to a participating Sunoco gas station, customers received an aluminum game 'coin' (more accurately, 'medallion') depicting one of twenty famous United States landmarks.
The game started about November 11, 1969, and ended February 14, 1970. Over 2,500 Sunoco gas stations participated, but only in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Indiana. This promotion was based on the 20-medal Franklin Mint "Great American Landmarks" set.
The 26 mm in diameter aluminum game coins featured a reverse with a map of the continental United States with the slogan "Landmarks of America" on top of it. The Sunoco trademarks – the Sunoco sign with arrow – was located above.
Please read the fine print:
The items I list are found at estate, garage sales and auctions. Many are antique / vintage items and have been pre-owned. Even if they were never used. They are not new and show varying signs of age, like wear, moisture damage, yellowing from age and storage prior to my acquisition of them. I do not know if items purchased are from pet free or smoke free homes. I describe all items to the best of my knowledge and include pictures of the actual item for sale. If you would like additional pictures please just ask prior to bidding. So what you see in pictures is what you will receive.
