Coin collecting

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 05-22-2011, 06:54 AM

I really like foreign coins, and have quite a decent collection going. There are some really exciting coins around at the moment, like the Canadian 25 cents, with a red poppy on it. I'm also a big fan of the standard UK 2 pound coin.

I'd really like to get some square coins, or coins with holes in the middle to add to my collection some day. Anyone else interested in coin collecting?

(Pssst. If any of you, especially a Canadian with access to a couple of those awesome red poppy quarters I mentioned, wants to send me some cool local money, I'd be all for it. I can send Australian coins back.

I used to collect coins when I was younger. I think it was after I collected Pokemon cards, but before I collected Homies figurines.

I could totally send you a bunch of sweet American pennies if you wanted. :B

Coin book is still probably the best storage solution for DS games.

I've got a pretty neat coin collection going. Haven't added to it recently---like, I was big into it back in junior high and high school.

Don't have any of the Canadian coins you're after, SD, but if you're looking for coins with holes through the middle or other screwy shapes, maybe we could set up a trade.

The only foreign coin I have is a Canadian dime. But I have plenty of American dollar and half dollar coins, as well as some very old pennies...

Oooh, coin collecting, I remember doing it so long ago. I had actually managed a nice collection of several countries, some even centuries old. Ah, but alas, tragedy struck the day I collected my one hundredth coin. I set it with the rest as I looked for a frame to celebrate this milestone, but when I looked back, all my coins were gone! My heart sank. I looked everywhere, but they were gone. I never saw them again.

Incidentally the next day I fell down a manhole and hit solid ground. Should have died, but somehow I was back up top.

Id love to send you the worlds heavyest coin.

This is a Swedish 10 daler coin, it weights about 20 kilograms.

I've been collecting those State Quarters ever since I got that mat thing for 'em. Unfortunetly, I'm missing 2 quarters and I'm starting to doubt if I'll ever get those. <_<

I don't even know what I'd do with 'em. Sell it online in 20 years? I don't know.

I love coins. The tinkle-y-jingle-y sound they make when shook together and the different pictures they have on them to commemorate different things, events and people are all exciting.

Whenever we travel, we try to add new coins. One idea I had was that next time we're in Singapore, we should be changing some money for coins to a country we'll most likely never visit to add to ESSDEE's collection...

Sounds like fun, Boo. I don't know if I've got anything you'd like; I'll need to go through and try to properly identify a bunch of them first! I do have a heap of Australian commemorative coins (they put different pictures on the 20c, 50c and $1 coins for all sorts of things).

I really should have asked for my change in the local currency when I went through all the various airports, but most of them work in US dollars for convenience.

That is quite a coin, Jere! o_o I think, if you want to send me anything, it had better be a lighter one than that.

My dad, and my siblings and I have a bunch of State Coins and stuff. My dad's pretty big on coin collecting, actually.
