Fun Fact: Coins do NOT go over well at the strip club.
I kind of collect coins. My grandpa did, and so I more or less inherited his collection, which is pretty ridiculous and tucked away in safety deposit boxes. I DO have with me though his collection of incredibly random coins from various 20th century junctures. He has a few Japanese coins from WWII, that he got while clearing caves on Iwo Jima.
I shit you not, I have about 5 Third Reich coins. That's right, legit Nazi coins. How ridiculous is that?! Not good ridiculous, but like, I totally thought all that shit was destroyed.
Personally, I love older coins just because of all the history I'd imagine they'd been through. I have some coin from Ireland from like 1905. 105 years of existence, and I have to imagine that it's been in people's pockets for some ridiculous shit.
However, I love wheat pennies. They're such Americana.
