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.

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.

War does not make one great.

Shame, the only foreign money I have is Honduras.

Silly 005, Honduras is a country, not currency.

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

Check your PMs, Ripplin.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

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.

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.

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

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.
