America
THE NEW WORLD
Many thousands of years before what Christopher Columbus thought was his discovery, America was teeming with cultures, religions and indisputable signs of civilizations.
Aztec, Mayan, Inca and American Indian arts included a multitude of representations of wild animals or other hybrid creatures. Nowadays the animal remains an important theme of numismatics, especially in South America.
The American continent covers 8.3% of the earth's surface and 28.2% of the land area. Its total area with its islands is around 42.2 million km².
There are 35 countries spread over three sub-continents: North America, Central and Caribbean, and South America. Its population exceeds one billion inhabitants.
