If Coins Could Talk, What Would You Ask?

Were you lucky for anyone? Looks like you have been rubbed a lot.

I would ask my ZAR coins (South African Republic (Dutch: Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek) if Paul Kruger or Marthinus Pretorius (son of Andries Pretorius) ever had them in his pocket.

Also would ask the coins if they know where the hidden Kruger Millions are.

P.S. I like this quote by Paul Kruger about Cecil Rhodes...."Only four people that I fear: God, the Devil, de la Rey for his enourmous strength and his quick tongue and - daardie verdomde Engelsman (that damned Englishman) Rhodes!"

FYI: Koos de la Rey was a Boer general during the Second Boer War.

to a 1916D dime:
"Where are the rest of you hiding? Tell me now, or I will put you into a plastic prison, for all eternity!"

To a Ty.1 Standing Liberty quarter:

You know that's indecent exposure don't you!

My 1810 capped bust half dollar was made when the country was only 34 years old. I would ask it what pockets, what purses, what cash registers it has been in. What a history it could tell. Maybe a few poker games or slot machines? Did any president ever hold you? The questions are endless.

I would seriously be afraid to ask a coin anything. Imagine asking something like so what have you seen or been involved with? And the coin blurts out "I hate those people that pick their noses and then handle me. I hate all those people that come out of a stall in the washroom, don't wash their hands and then handles me. And that guy that threw up from to much to drink. Guess what he did with me?"
And now your holding me in your hands.
