I just found that the Russian city of Yaroslavl has a monument for a 1612 kopeck.

Does anyone know of any other monuments for coins?

Hello to everybody
I do not know, but we will soon.
The mint maltrer who wanted to make the hardest coin in the world lost 500 kg of silver.( the mint owner disappeared )
He produced 9kg, 18kg of coin and so on. He also wanted to produce 500kg of silver for investors from Congo and Cyprus. It's a fresh message so the memorial is not made yet.8)
500 kg silver9 kg, Au+diamond

What the heck was that giant chinese coin? I do not remember but I saw a picture of it, described as the largest "coin" on earth.
I remember seeing an article about a former bank building in New York City from the 1920s that had coins from investor nations engraved on it's façade, such as a 1928 Italian 20 Lire.
Vilnius has one: http://www.lb.lt/lt/naujienos/vilniaus-centre-is-monetu-sukurtas-paminklas-iamzins-lita-ir-pagerbs-pirmaji-lietuvos-banko-valdytoja
It was made from 75000 melted 50 centų coins. The person depicted is Valdas Jurgutis (1885-1966), the first chairman of the Bank of Lithuania (he is also depicted on commemorative 1 litas coin struck in 1997). The plint contains impressed images of various Lithuanian coins.

Also worth mentioning is the pyramid built from 1 centas coins (although it is not a monument in usual sense): http://www.pinigumuziejus.lt/lt/milijono-centu-piramide-didziausia-pasaulyje/
