If there are any of you out there let me know, if not I will just go back to my solitary existence!

EDIT: Seeing as there are a fair few collectors out there, feel free to PM me and perhaps we can work out some trades. I have a vast collection of foreign coins from my travels plus a lot of fancy Canadian quarters. Plus I could also assemble a full set of Canadian currency should you so wish! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430634.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430634.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430652.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430672.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5430707.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432652.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432667.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5432671.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka?

I think his goal is one of every year for all the uk coins and one of every type of foreign coin.

I collect transformers and 40k.

When we were younger, we each spent hours boring each other by making us go into our respective shops.
We've reached an accord now - we still bore each other, we just don't moan ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5433454.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5433454.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka?

Same. I have a few coins left-over from vacations to strange lands like Chicago. They have Abe Lincoln on a coin up there!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5438288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5438288.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka?

I wouldn't really consider myself a coin collector, but I do try to hang onto a few coins and/or small bills from any foreign countries I've visited, if it's practical. I've got a few cool ones, like the Egyptian 25 piastre coins that have holes in the middle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5438406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5438406.page GMT Re:Any avid coin collectors on Dakka?
My oldest coin is a King George from the 1790's, extremely worn condition though. Nothing is really worth much like no low or rare mints but worth their silver content if nothing else. The bulk of my collection is a couple dozen Silver Dollars (barbers late 1800's and walking liberties early 1920's). Silver makes a specific sound when it hits the counters, turns a lot of heads to those who know. From my casino days though I have plenty of steel war time pennies and the odd foreign coin (not US coins) that made it into a machines but got stuck on the magnets.

I have other stuff too, indian head pennies, mercury dimes, Franklin .50 cent pieces, buffalo nickles (all have the correct number of legs). All together the collection may have worth, but nothing is 'rare' in coin terms.

Paper money eludes me still. Silver certificates also crossed my path but I have none. The casino I worked at also had about 5 100 dollar bills with red lettering, I didn't have enough money to buy any of those up at the time. I am sure I would have spent it at the time anyways, I was in my early 20's.

Myself I have some austrailian coins from a cousin who used to live there and a silver coin from my great aunt.

Unless you have a bank like the one in Harry Potter I don't think it counts!

Mostly I collect stuff for historical value. I have a little stash of old Roman coins. I used to buy culls when they were cheap and clean them for a bit of armature archaeology. Found coins from Ancient Greece, Persia, and the reigns of Constantine, Caligula, Nero, and even Queen Zenobia.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5442073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5442073.page GMT Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? btw, I swear my garden was the site of an outdoor dinner massacre or something, that's the only reason that could explain the volume of china managed to dig up).

They are more of an heirloom than a financial investment.

I'm not a collector, so year/condition/etc isn't too important but I'm trying to get hold of a bunch of 5Yen coins, these ones:


I want about 30 of them to use as Ki tokens for my Bushido force, nowhere is going to trade currency for something as low as that (it's rare you can even trade for coins at all) so maybe someone here has got a bunch sitting around taking up space that they want to trade for british pound equivalent value (plus shipping)? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5445581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5445581.page GMT Re:Any avid coin collectors on Dakka? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5445773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516409/5445773.page GMT
