It would be great to go back to around 1971 and blow up the Pobjoy Mint in Sutton, Surrey, then hop over to the USA and do the same with the Franklin Mint! (Ensuring of course that all employees were safe, but making sure all the coin presses were completely destroyed).

How about to 1933, keeping in mind that the 1933 Saint Gaudens dollar was going to be destroyed, and grab a bunch of them, bury them somewhere environmentally safe, like TheNickelGuy said, then uncover them today (hopefully).

Er, you don't want to know. People in dire straits will make ridiculous deals. Remember, you have to take gobs of money now worthless and easy to obtain.

If you go back to the present time, you can't go back.  |

A late nite drive in Ontario about 2012, what's that, a Brinks truck just lost it's load on the highway. Need any 'help' collecting your coins? Turns out they are the hard ones to find now a days.

If only I knew in 1965 what I know now. I wouldn't want to go back and risk missing anything I've already lived though.

It has been a while since we had a time travel thread.  |

Can we bring anything back with us? I wonder how many uncirculated gold Aureii emperor Nero would trade for a spice rack, or a fidget spinner  Within my own lifespan, I sure could use the money that could have been made by using all of my birthday and Christmas money to buy silver, sell it all in early 2008, buy it all back in early 2009, then sell it all again in early 2011. Although truthfully, I would be a heck of a lot richer if I put my couple thousand into the stock market in the late 90s. Edited by Finn235

Go back to 1831 in France and stop the thieves that stoled the 36 solidi gold medallion of Justinian I, only to (most likely) melting it down...  |

I would go back to 1793 and stay there for a few years.

Would have gone to 1889 Carson City and be a employee for a few days, of course take a few 1000 with me to buy some Morgan's directly from the minting press!

On a certain day in 1894, I'd visit the Frisco mint and look for a gentleman exiting the place with a little girl in tow. Then I'd offer to buy both him and the girl some ice cream but then explain that I didn't have any dimes.
