1996 OLYMPIC ROWING TEAM-ATLANTA, SOUVENIR COIN (124 - CC19) - $10 Attention collectors, coin buffs & enthusiasts!!! You are looking at a 1996 US Olympic Rowing Team souvenir coin offered by General Mills as a memento and souvenir. The event took place at Lake Lanier, Georgia, United States. The coin was sponsored by General Mills, one of many sponsors of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The 1996 Summer Olympics of Atlanta, officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad and unofficially known as the Centennial Olympics, was an international multi-sport event. Games were given a dramatic start when the cauldron was lit by Muhammad Ali. And on a sad note, on 27 July during a concert held in the Centennial Olympic Park, a terrorist bomb killed one person and injured a further 110 people, but the Atlanta Games are best remembered for their sporting achievements.
