Ageka, even plain table salt (natrium chloride) attract moisture. Leave a jar without a lid open for a few weeks, in the fall, and the salt gets wet. In salt shakers in restaurants you will often find a few grains if rice, because those even attract the moisture more than the salt, so the salt will stay dry and can be "poored" out easily.

2002 Greece 2 euro cent "plain" i.e. one made in Greece and not in another country

1913 plain Barber Dime as major upgrade for my type set

two different' colours : I'd say : FAKE

For several reasons, I avoid stapled 2x2's: 1) staples are sharp pointed metal objects, don't like'm near my coins 2) self-adhesive 2x2's look a lot better and, in case you like to, are more easy to write on than the stapled types 3) self-adhesive 2x2's are far better air-tight closed than stapled ones, so your coins stay better 4) self-adhesive 2x2's are more easy inserted and removed from the pockets in album pages

1948, 1 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent and 25 cent are the oldest coins that were circulating in the Netherlands (during my life), before the euro was introduced. I've had them all in change. They were the first coins that were struck after WW2 and pre-WW2 coins weren't circulating anymore during my life. When being abroad, I think the oldest I got was a george VI cent in Canada, I guess it will have been a 1940's as well

Received my 2004 short snorter back today Thanks a lot for all the effort you put in this, Ar!!

Received my 4th of july giveaway prize today, a nice Lincoln medal. Thanks a lot, Bill

And this morning the medal arrived. Gosh, it's a lot bigger than I expected. Guess I was thinking of a cent, 'cause Lincoln is on it. But it's quite some bigger, larger than a half dollar. Thanks again, Bill

A lot of things first of all, a whole set of CoinPeople notes Then there was my 2004 short snorter note that came back, all signed And third was a Lincoln medal I won in a giveaway/contest here

Mine is here too, it arrived today Thanks everybody, for participating and many thanks to Art, for organizing and maintaining this!!!

my experience with that is that the stamp glues to the tissue.......

the best advice I can give is find out what it exactly is that's on your coins and withthat info find the proper way to neutralize it

Wow, that's a bargain for me!!!! This morning in the Netherlands, at a very cheap gas station: € 1.309 / litre = € 4.94 / gallon = US$ 5.91/gallon Shell asks more: € 1.35 / litre = US$ 6.09 / gallon however, average income here is much higher that Banivechi's : € 1000/month

OK, who removed those stairs?

you set me up, didn't ya?

I hope I'll never get one without knowing........

according to one oof the largest news papers in the Netherlands, there are some people trying to sell fake 2 euro coins, for "half price". They're offering quantities of 100,000 at a time. They're german coins, with the german eagle on it. They look very real, but vending machines will spit them out again, as the composition and the weight are wrong. here's a picture of a real one and a fake one: the one to the left is real. Note the upper part of the "2" and the "o" in euro, compared to the outer ring of the coin....
