An Eisenhower dollar thats been out of circulation since 1976. I didn't even know Eisenhower dollars existed until my uncle showed me one.

You ain't missing much. Stupid 20c pieces that look like pounds from a distance...

That reminds me, I wish I'd kept some one pound notes when they went out of circulation. I guess I was too skint to hoard them. I also used to have a box of random old coins from around the world somewhere, nothing valuable but quite interesting; but I haven't seen it in at least 25 years so I think I can conclude that I've lost it...

There used to be an amusemant arcade in Southport where they used all these old machines. You paid with modern money and they gave you these gigantic predecimal pennies to use in the machines.

All of my coins end up in a candy dish on my dresser the minute I walk in the door. When its full they go in a metal bank box until I take them to be rolled. Basically, I don't have any on my person.

I like how 20c has a little different shape from for example 10c and 50c. It eases telling them from each other.

My oldest coin, I don't quite know. I do have some weird ass old http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_markka somewhere, probably from 60's.

in my purse/ wallet, the oldest coin I have is a 2 pence piece from 1971, which I find quite amazing.

I have a roman coin in my collection, though I don't really know if it's a real one or a replica.

I sorta collect them.

The oldest I have is a 1783 American silver dollar. The first series of silver dollars to be made in America.

The oldest coin I have in my pocket is a 1961 nickel. The oldest coin I've ever had is a dime from 1915.

Nothing special, just a 1990 pound coin.

» Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:24 pm

I keep a silver quarter from 1964 in my pocket. Its lucky.

The oldest coin I own is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Barber_coinage from 1893. It has been so heavily used that it is almost completely flat on both sides. You can barely make out the details of it.

I have a bronze Roman coin with a bust of Constantine the Great on I'm guessing is at least a millennium-and-half old.

» Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:52 pm

I have a half dollar from 1944, pretty cool but the image on one side is flat.

» Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:48 pm

1912 Half Penny B)

Bah! That's nothing compared to my 1911 One Penny.

» Sun Aug 28, 2011 9:22 am

Don't usually carry coins, but the I think the oldest ones I have are some 1941 pennies.
