RE: Coin collecting

Wow, I've never done inventory on my collection.  Also, I almost exclusively collect Amuricuhn!  It's been a while since I did any real collecting, but I have a pretty nice assortment of coins and bills throughout the 20th century, many of which I collected and bought on my own, many others I inherited from my grandfather.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I'm happy to have U.S. dollar coins from different decades. :)

My dad was in the Navy back in the 80s, and he's got a massive coin/paper money collection from loads of countries. I might take an inventory next time I go back home.

I inherited some from my grandad, who himself got them from his dad.  I've got one from 1930 Germany with a nazi eagle on it, pretty cool, and a few from the 1800s.  All coins though, no notes.

Silly 005, Honduras is a country, not currency.

I've lived there, you're right, currency is the last thing it is.

No bites on the revelation that I lived in Honduras for a time?

Am I not as intriguing as I think I am?*

I was rendered speechless by your redirect of my joke.

RE: Coin collecting

Actually, Haiti is the poorest place I've been to. The capital city made the poor sections of Honduras I went to look like a quaint American subdivision. And this was before the earthquake a few years ago.

Neither here nor there, but things even I forget about myself.

RE: Coin collecting

I used to have a US dollar bill, and 5 australian dollars. Both misteriously disappeared. There should be a penny around the house, though.

  

 

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Yes, but you have a chair that moves with Star Wars.  That's worth more than any coin collection...???

It's true.

Oh, and Ripplin.  You should have that PM by now, so maybe check again?

I have about 10 British pounds, 20 euros, 3 Canadian dollars and maybe 70 Mexican pesos in my sock drawer.

They really aren't 'collections' as much as me forgetting to exchange my money when I get home.

Funnily enough, though, that's how a lot of collections start. ;)

And yes, I'm going to check my PMs now, xhonzi. Thanks.
