Found them recently and thought they were kind of different ;-) Not sure if close ups are needed... but there's two pennies, two nickels, two dimes, two quarters, two half dollars, and three dollars... I also found some coin denominations that are larger than normal... kind of interesting too. Report this Post to the Staff

Here are a couple previous CCF threads that may be of interest: http://goccf.com/t/202315 http://goccf.com/t/249036 http://goccf.com/t/53472 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Very good question, and one to which I do not know the answer. Maybe post a few (probably better to have as a separate thread to avoid confusion and see what folks say). You may not realize it, but the search function on CCF is wicked useful. In fact, I found those other threads by searching on the keyword "miniature".
