nothing exciting lately. I did have a few free hours after a meeting in DC last week and I bought a uncut sheet of 4 new US (coloured) design $10s

I picked up some nice Croatian (Hrvatska) notes in change in Pula and Dubrovnik that I have saved and cataloged this month.

Thats about it. Boring few months for me.

good question it is dark in colour but in ~XF condition. Nice coin overall.

Note overly exciting but I received a 1929 (P) US 1 cent in change today. Of course the P mint was 185,000,000 mintage so it is not worth much but a keeper for me nonetheless.

Hmm, I'm an alpha breeder male, with 32 years, sort of married, soon to be completly married.

Mods should sticky the poll so the new folks can fill it out also!

Ciao,

AWACS

It was added later. That is not a Fed printed item on that new design $20.

The bill is only worth $20.

Received two of the DUTCH 2 Euro 2007 Europa 50 *specials* in change last night in Maastricht (or very early this morning depending on your point of view). These were my second special 07s after the German one a few weeks ago.

No 1977. Germany used them until the EUro came along.

Capt-AWACS, Who needs a hug

while joggin the German/Dutch border trail here, near myhouse, I found a 1977 Deutsch 10 Pfennig. Once I wiped the dirt it wasn't half bad. I think it got kicked out by some farmers or something.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Europe-we have no easy button

plugged it into my GPS and it is there of course they were closed at the time LOL I will head back over in a few days plus it gives me an excuss to go drink.

Thanks for the info.

Capt-AWACS, NATO-because someone has to drink wine at noon

Got these two commemoratives last week

 

Do those circulate? I never find any Euros like that. I was happy when I found an Irish 1 Euro in Maastricht saturday LOL I must not be looking hard enough.

THanks I will probably drive over to Cologne mittwoch and check it out, thanks for the info.

Are there any shops around Aachen? Or do I have to drive to Koln or Bonn to find one? I have yet to see a shop in Germany, but I have found some in The Netherlands. I would like to pick some of those up.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, You must follow the procedure

Found a 1960 D US Dime in the parking lot of a 7-11 store outside the DFW airport yesterday More silver...

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Fat kids are harder to kidnap

Cool, I tipped one or two near the Galleria mainly at some Greek places where my friend belly-dances on Tues/Fri night. Usually when I spend them folks keep them or take them out of the cash drawer at once.

I can get them for about $1.15 a piece at a place in Oklahoma so it is worth the 15cent markup to see the looks on peoples faces. Europeans love them.

Funny thing is I never want to spend wheat cents but love spending Ikes.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, If you smack a kid with a bottle of "No more tears" Shampoo does that make Irony

Hmm, In Houston? I had spent two rolls of Ikes in the States, and in Houston (during the floods) I probably spent 12-15 around town, mainly downtown

Got a 1949 (p) US 1c "Wheat penny" in change at the Cologne-Bonn airport!!!

XF ish condition. Not as good as my silver a few weeks ago but fun none-the-less.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, I'm your huckleberry

This was an odd one for the US, but I got a 1 cent euro today...which is smaller than a US cent, but still circulated a bit here. I'm not sure of the country....has a theatre mask on the back or something...maybe france?

Yes that is France.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Dutch RVs and German Autobahns don't mix

I got the entire lot of 16 from the drawer. She said someone had come in and "paid with those" and she wanted to get rid of them. Bingo!

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, More Cowbell Please

I s#!t you not, I just got $8USD worth of 64-69 JFK Halves in change, from a cash drawer at a Viet Pho noodle place in Houston. I paid in cash and when the drawer opened I saw a whole till area full of halves and said I would take some in change. Turns out they were all Silver!!!!

What a great day. I used to get some now and then when I worked in a grocery store during my undergrad college years, but 16 coins is my biggest circ find yet.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Watching you from 30,000 feet (for the government...)

Got a 1946-D US 5c at LAX today. It is in roughly XF shape. That is about as exciting as it has gotten lately.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

Capt-AWACS, Watching you from 30,000 feet
