Any coin and paper currency collectors out there?
Just curious if there are any other 'money geeks' out there. I think it's a great hobby. It's a way to own something with historical significance at a reasonable price. I think of them as miniature pieces of art too I collect mostly US coins and paper, but also own quite a few Canadian pieces. It's amazing how many of their coins end up in ours!

The 2010 cent is absolutely beautiful! So far I've only found three. I have a feeling this is going to become very collectible.

The other day I was coin shopping at a jeweler and got to hold the most expensive coin I have ever seen. It was a Draped Bust Dollar from 1796. They were selling it for $2500!

It's all part of 'our plan'. I especially like the line, "mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances".glorkar wrote:It's amazing how many of their coins end up in ours!
Incidentally, this has since been exposed as "Operation Here's Your Change". Not really, but I hope you get a kick out of it like I did.
