For me, if that actually happened, I would probably get 5 25 dollars face value bank boxes of U.S. Pennies and search them. Then, I would buy expensive and hard to find varieties on Lincoln Memorial cents and also buy maybe some expensive, but legitimate major error coins if I had any money left over. That's just me though. I'm a error and variety coin collecter.

Check for special serial numbers and then convert it into $10s to aid my note searching, or add some to it and buy a 1948 silver dollar.

I would buy a couple of AU Morgan dollars for my date set Dansco album, 1893-P and 1894-O. That would leave just that pesky 1895 hole open...

Coin-related: I'd put it towards that 1934-S Peace dollar to make my MS series consistent across the line.

Not coin-related: The VR headset for my PS4 is a little wonky - I yanked the cable playing a boxing game a few weeks ago. I'd replace/upgrade that.

I would probably buy a nice 1907 $10 gold Liberty Eagle for my 7070
and fill another copper vacant space with the change.

I'd probably finish my 7070 with some higher-grade examples, and use the remaining money to finish as many of my albums as I can.

First I would check the address and make sure it was for me. If it was, then I would probably buy some of the pre-decimal Australian coins that I still need.

If it wasn't in dollars? Basically this. Maybe keep part of it for the big Moscow coin show (due in September).

In dollars, however, I'd probably just keep them, because our currency is too volatile at the moment (and our coin shops mostly don't accept dollars; besides, even if they did, there's probably nothing I want enough to pay $100 for it, and I highly doubt that any place would be able to give change for a $100... not in dollars, anyway).

I wrote up a long-winded reply back in 2012 on what I'd want to buy if I won a lot of money, but that was before I realized that I could never buy a $100+ coin unless that was a small fraction of my money, and, for that matter, before I decided that ancient and medieval coins were actually pretty cool.
Today? Just do the same thing I normally do, except with less turning away from $20 purchases because they're too expensive (might actually manage to fill most of my 7070 that way).

Hmmm, Realistic answer is that I would jump on an old waterfall bedroom set I saw on Craigslist yesterday but if I was going to go with a coin related purchase I would see if I could find a decent looking '77 IHC out there. That would probably be the only way I'd have a shot at filling that hole.
