If i remember rightly pre decimal crowns and double florins are also legal tender , but they are rarely found in everyday change from any source , would be nice if they did.

Same here . Love the bronzed proof

While it is not something you find everyday in your change in the states , silver is something to watch out for, kennedy half dollars are the most popular finds, though 1940s and 1950s silver is in there with a shout as well as silver is not pulled out by private banks for the fed it tends to circulate till someone finds it . Many current coins are still legal tender even after 100 years or so (cents) so the stuff that you can find (In theory at least ) is much more interesting than the uk where there is no circulateing silver and nothing b4 1971

I thought the USA goverment has made the melting of current USA bronze illegal , its strangely legal to melt USA silver though.

drugs are more profitable , I hear , LOL.......

your probably in the majority at the moment - personally i would rarther not mint any more and allow them a slow death

Anyone noticed that the pre 1991 bronze in your pocket is becomeing scarcer and scarcer Recent rises in the price of scrap bronze might even be making the withdrawal of these coins and their hoarding / melting a common ocurance. While illegal it would be hard to prove it was happening . There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with these coins though , you might get a 50% premium at the moment and its a lot of messing around for little reward

Like Trump?

A recent picture of phil and the "person who makes him happy" personally i think he should trade her in. And a rather sad pic of phil in a wheelchair

Amazon one of several

there should be a book somewhere ..........

Septimus severus is an interesting emperor he died in York UK after catching an unknown infection (probably a flu bug ) and leading a battle against the scots Funny enough not many emperors put the uk on their bucket list after this and most remained stuck on the palitine hill with its mod cons and relative safety.

I really cannot see everyone in the country suddenly wanting to ditch their pounds/dollars/euros One of the main things is, virtualy nothing is backing these virtual currency" fads" , at least the pound or most major currencies are backed with gold and foregn currency and goverment goodwill when the 75 year old little old ladies start exchangeing their life savings into bitcoin I will join in. Even the major pension funds dont bother" investing" if you can call it that when theres nothing backing these "Alternative investments" By the way , if you want to have a go I tip my hat to you , braver than me .

I surpose the weird like me liked The who LOL

Trouble is its hard to value up coins when they have already been sold to a dealer (the dealer will probable have been lied to over their source anyway). You also have the problem that a fraudster will often lie about what and where he sold his items.

My car is worth less than £500 book price never costs much, does 50+ to the gallon and is 20 years old - the main thing is it gets me from A-B

What if they all 1967 pennies?

Mick is famously very mean with cash , maybe one of the reasons for those endless tours LOL

Oh what a tragic loss to numismatics

Typical of pennies around then I surpose and into Georges reign

Strange lack of detail on brits lower body , really lovely apart from that, Edwards head is superb !

To be honest its not all his fault really, its the last four or five leaders that left biden with no choice . Just like Vietmam again

Bravely bold Sir Biden Rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, Oh brave Sir Biden. He was not at all afraid To be killed in nasty ways. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Biden. He was not in the least bit scared To be mashed into a pulp. Or to have his eyes gouged out, And his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split And his body burned away, And his limbs all hacked and mangled Brave Sir Biden. His head smashed in And his heart cut out And his liver removed And his bowls unplugged And his nostrils raped And his bottom burnt off And his penis "That's, that's enough music for now lads, there's dirty work afoot." Brave Sir Biden ran away.
