I don't imagine it would take much effort to just make your own. You could probably get all the supplies you need at a crafts store.

Most of the supplies. The Berlin manhole cover might be kinda hard to find.

Travel to various cities of America and take samples of their manhole covers. It sure beats any tchotcke you'd find at a bus station.

    "Yes, I'd like to check a bag please."

    "Why is your bag shaped like a manhole cover, and weigh as much as a manhole cover?"

    "No reason."

    "Sir, this is a manhole cover."

    "Yes, I'm traveling around taking samples."

    "You can't just take a manhole cover."

    "It's a sample. I can't very well take them all."

Ha! I could have phrased that better.

You could present the collection a la mk's century penny project. And then watch the structural damage to your home unfold.
