Coins

Found: Wintergreen Ski Resort. Change from the token machine in the locker room.

This is another question of functionality versus aesthetics. Even though the coins have these illustrations on them, I don't consider them to be art in the sense that they have any noteworthy merit. They aren't something you would stick in an art museum, but they might go in a history museum.

I also considered this point of view. Maybe the images themselves are art, but the coins they are on are not.
