Does anyone remember this? I've got about twenty of these flips, with the coins in them; I feel pretty safe saying I got all the coins offered plus a few to spare.

I'd never seen anything on them since I finished that last box of cereal. They're neat memories from childhood.

There's been something on a thread around here about them--I've got a South Korean one (for "type" ). They probably couldn't do anything like that now for the choking hazard lawsuits.

Wow,

I actually think this is what started it all for me. I didn't know that folks still had these. Thanks. Guess that I'll start bidding for these now!

*Grins* Kinte, I'm glad you liked this set too. ^^

The coins I have from it are:

Brazil, 10 centavos. 1987
Egypt, 1 millieme. 1982 (I think.)
Finland, 1 penni. 1978 & (3x) 1979
Hungary, 5 filler. 1970
India, 10 paisa. 1975
Poland, 1 grosz. 1949
Sierre Leone, 1/2 cent. 1964
South Korea, 1 won. 1970 & 1974
Turkey, 10 kurus. (2x) 1975
USSR, 1 kopek. 1989

In fact, it's almost like there are two sets. One is a simple cardboard flip with a hole cut out, and everything is laminated over, the other is a folded card with plastic around it. The latter has given way and is no longer air-tight, where the former is as pretty as the day it was crammed in the box of cereal. Nifty!
