Do-You-Carry-Your-Pocket-Piece-In-A-Airtite-Or-Not?

I have been asking at my LCS about a Lion on a silver round for more than a year... FINALLY got this one a few weeks ago. It might be my new pocket piece but it will stay in the airtite!

After I saw 'The Lion King' I thought it was sort of a cop-out to call him 'Simba' because that is just how you say lion in Swahili (or something like that), then I found out that Aslan was how you say Lion in Turkish So I figured give Disney a break, they just stole the idea from the master

I'm not sure a 2014 ASE embodies the spirit of a pocket piece.


Being in the US that would not make much sense but works great for someone in South Africa

I don't because I am trying to get some dirt/wear on my pocket pieces but if I was using them more as a conversation piece I could see keeping something in an airtite.

No. I let my 1973 silver Eisenhower and my 1963 Franklin half roll around free and happy!

I was carrying a low-ball Stone Mountain Memorial Half Dollar in a flip, but now I am carrying a low-ball Stand Liberty Quarter loose.

Funny thing silver surfer....I vary my pocket coins, and right now I'm carrying old Dutch, including a leeuwendaalder. I found through sad experience that I lose small coins out of my pocket.

I sometimes like to carry a loose AU Details Mercury dime as my pocket piece. I have already lost it once, so I am thinking of getting an Ike dollar to carry.

Eisenhower dollars (whether silver or clad) make for a great pocket piece. Fun to handle, large and unique enough to be a conversation starter, but not particularly rare or valuable if you should lose it. And you can get a little silver if you so choose.
