valutarick Valued Member Netherlands 376 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 12:56 pm We do not use that kind of tradition in the country where I live in, Holland. Over here those elongated cents are considered as garbage and often thrown away. Edited by valutarick 06/29/2007 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I think it's great that folks collect all kind of items all over the world. When I was in my teens some people in my birth country (Switzerland) went totally insane collecting the lids of half and half restaurant service containers - they created trading clubs, magazines etc. - and this even to a time nobody used the Internet.

Madmartigan Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 9:50 pm I've seen some machines recently use nickles and not just pennies. I have a small collection of coins myself. Mostly from GA and FL. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 06:43 am quote: all the Dutch locations of penny(or should I say eurocent) elongators Problem is that in NL the 1 and 2 cent coins (which is what we use in DE for such machines) hardly occur in circulation. I wonder whether those "elogation machines" use 5 cent coins instead ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
valutarick Valued Member Netherlands 376 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 09:04 am That's quite new too me, and even I live nearby the Euromast at Rotterdam, but I do not remember to have seen any elongated machine in the Hall... But it gives me something to keep in mind! Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:24 am Note the remark "Gone". So while the Euromast apparently does not have a such a machine any more, the zoo may (!) still have one: http://home.arcor.de/peggyundrene/N...otterdam.htm Christian Report this Post to the Staff

chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 08/06/2007 03:41 am Here are three. The first one is an elongated 1979 from the Michigan State Numismatic Society, Dearborn MI spring show. April 2007 The other two are from the CSNS 68th anniversary convention May 9-12 2007 in St. Louis MO. It shows an image of the MO State Quarter. The middle on is a 1960 D and the bottom one is a 1961. Edited by chrycopaul 08/06/2007 03:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

Parklane64 Rest in Peace United States 2668 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 4:51 pm Now 'you' have me going through all of my elongated cents and putting the best in special 2x2s. I bought 200, should keep me busy for a while. An added bonus is playing 98 pick-up when a rubber band breaks on a stack...... Report this Post to the Staff
