To honor the reconstruction of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu and provide a fund raising vehicle for the many charitable and community projects of the London Bridge Rotary Club, the club sponsored the release of the first "Havasu Dollar" in October 1971.

Each October since then, a new London Bridge Rotary Commemorative Coin has been released during London Bridge Days, the annual anniversary celebration of the dedication of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City.

This 39th issue celebrating "Run to the Sun" is now available for only $8.00 + Shipping.

Also available are (bright silver plated colorized coins), (solid .999 fine, 1oz. silver coins) and (solid .999 fine, 1oz. silver coins with 24kt. gold overlay) packaged in sets of various combinations.

"Run to the Sun" is a spectacular annual vintage car show in Havasu.  With more than 1,000 cars, it features one of the largest "Classic Car, Muscle Car and Hot Rod" gatherings in the Western United States.  People from hundreds of miles come to display or just gaze at the magnificent machines.  "Run to the Sun" is the place where people can reminisce and re-live wonderful car memories from the past.  Now in its 32nd year, it's part of what makes Lake Havasu City such a special "Place on the River".

This year our London Bridge Rotary Club is honoring this fabulous event with the 39th edition of its long running Commemorative Coin Series.  As always, on the front of the coin, the famous London Bridge is the special focus.  This year the bridge stands majestically overlooking two spectacular cars; a T-Bucket Roadster and the ever popular 1958 Corvette.  The flip side of the coin reveals a beautiful red 1932 Coupe headed along the most famous road of all, "Route 66."  The Rotary Emblem on the back, symbolizes "Service Above Self" and the extraordinary effort all Rotarians give to make the world a much better place for those less fortunate.

When a new coin is released each year, the coin that was issued previously becomes part of the very popular collector "Complete Set" (all 39 coins framed).  As the coins age and the available quantities diminish, the trading price begins to increase.  Many coins have appreciated significantly over the years.  The current "street price" of our most sought after #2 (1972-73) coin is $156!  However, many of the more recent issued coins can still be bought for as little as $6.00 to $10.00.
