AMetalHound Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 12:24 pm I used to carry a 1922-p Peace dollar once and a while, birth year of my gram or I'd carry a 1886-o morgan that just begged to be in a pocket. They make a unique sound when in a pocket with other change. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 1:06 pm Mine's an 1877 Seated Half that has environmental damage. It's also my ball marker on the golf course greens. I've had to retrieve it from my playing partners on several occassions. One guy really wanted it, so after getting it back from him for about the fifth time, I got him an 1861-O (he's a civil war buff). He's left mine alone since then. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188535 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 1:58 pm This should be of no surprise to anyone, but I used to carry an Eisenhower dollar with me all the time.

dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 2:18 pm I don't carry a coin with me. However, I have several dollar coins on my office desk, including a Morgan, a Peace, an Eisenhower, and a silver eagle. These are great topics for small talks. Report this Post to the Staff

Podoprigora Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 9:53 pm I actually read a thread where a member said that his grandfather used to carry a double eagle, imagine that Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 10:00 pm I have carried an 1898s Morgan for some time now. Almost every time I dig all my change out of my pocket to pay for something at a store, the cashier asks to look at it. It has caused many a conversation to strike up! Report this Post to the Staff
DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 2:52 pm I carry lots of coins in my pocket at all times! I have to, I pay in cash. Oh, you meant a special* coin!* My "Lucky ASE", bought from a 7-11 cashier's drawer for $1 in 1993! (In a flip, in my pocket) Edited by DNA 01/30/2010 2:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rggoodie Moderator United States 23516 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 09:00 am For Training purposes I carry a small coin purse which contains 1 US One Cent coin 1 US Five Cent coin 1 US Dime coin 1 US Quarter Dollar coin 1 UK Penny coin 1 Australian Penny coins 1 Canada Ten Cent Coin 1 Canada 25 Cent coin 1 US Peace dollar Coin and 1 US Dept of the Treasury Coin I also keep a folder in my vehicle with a current US 1, 5, 10, 20 & 50 dollar US Federal Reserve note. I use the coins to demonstrate that "most" people in the US can not identify a one five ten and twenty five cent coin. Most call the US one cent a penny most call the US dime a 10 cent coin and most call the US Quarter a 25 cent coin. The UK and Australian Coins say penny The Canadian coins say 10 & 25 cents. The Peace dollar was given to me as a gift to carry and the challenge coin prevents me from having to buy drinks when the time arises. I use the Federal reserve notes to train people how to identify counterfeits. Coin collecting is Fun This post is not to cause controversy It is what I do to get people to think about what they handle and use. I also get to teach a lot of history from the coins and notes We have a lot of fun I hope your collecting brings you fun Report this Post to the Staff
fyimo Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 10:46 am I was given a 1920 Canadian large cent by my Grandfather in the mid 50's and I carried it around until he died in 1975. Since then I haven't carried a specific coin in my pocket. This thread is making me think it's time I start to again. My father started me going through penny rolls back in the 50's and my Grandfather handed me the 1920 Canadian large cent and said "I bet you won't find one of these" and then gave it to me.

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 02/01/2010 12:39 pm Quote: Most call the US one cent a penny You got a problem with that? I'm just messing around, whole threads have been devoted to arguing that topic. Quote: most call the US dime a 10 cent coin and most call the US Quarter a 25 cent coin. I don't believe I've ever heard a dime or a quarter called by those other names. Don't forget the nickel. Everyone calls it that, but it isn't what it says on the coin. I was looking through Walkers yesterday and meant to put one in my pocket, and forgot. Edited by steve199 02/01/2010 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
