2019 Holiday Exchange

I was out of town for the weekend visiting some family. When I got home, I discovered that Santa had been here and left me a big package. It seems that while Santa has been busy around the world delivering packages, he picked up some presents for me.

The pics probably don't do it justice ..... There were coins and currency from around the world. Luckily Santa had included a lengthy description of everything for me.







I'll have to work on a special thank you letter for Santa.

@CitationSquirrel, that's a big WOW! I especially like three silver crowns! You make a good point about writing a thank-you letter. I shall do the same if I did not throw the package out (actually, shredding it). #128563;

@Colhand1, what is a "W" quarter? This is my first time hearing it? Is that West Point mint Mark? Surprised they make them!! I do know they do some coins but not circulating coins.

Great timing Santa... I received my gift from Canada today! I also received a very nice letter describing the different items in the box. I'm not quite sure of the forum members name but a huge thanks goes out to them. Here is a quick shot of what I received.

Thank you secret Santa! The note said I was good, I think Santa was watching there wrong person :)

Beautiful wrap job, it was fun opening, thank you!

This is demonetized rubles of hyperinflation era, easy to find using google - face value on it, year of issue too.
Merry Christmas everyone!

@MrPink2018, you have wonderful banknotes from the last Soviet days and the beginning of Russian Federation's "first" series! 1000 old rubles are equal to a new or current ruble now. You have old rubles. I think 1995 notes are no longer exchangeable at the central bank now. Both were used at the same time for some time before they stopped allowing Soviet notes in circulation. I am glad to see that the mail piece from Russia arrived safe and sound!

@flying_teapot, I liked what you did with the stamps! They are lovely to look at!! I am sure MrPink2018 do appreciate and love your presents! Happy day is here!

Once again, Merry/Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone here!!

We ought to take our hats off to rggoodie and thank him for his jolly and hard work to ensure that we do have wonderful holiday spirit! THANK YOU, rggoodie!!

It's Christmas day so I finally got to open my Secret Santa gift. There was no ID on the sender other than it came from the east coast so thank you whoever you are for the nice assortment of US Silver coins
