Can you tell me a bit more about these one-time use numbers that your phone generates. Special app? Special bank? Credit or debit card?
Both Apple Pay and Google Pay (formerly Android Pay) use NFC to talk to the credit card machine at the retailer. They transmit the card number (which is generated specifically for this transaction) on the fly, so if the credit card machine has been tampered with only one transaction is affected (instead of canceling your payment card, you just tell your bank about that specific transaction from that retailer and you're done).
No cost for this, but your bank/credit union/... must support Apple Pay/Google Pay ... it's a game changer.

I don't even do that... Mostly I use my phone (since it generates one-time use numbers)...

I used to search half dollar rolls that i'd buy at the bank ... more often than not i'd get lucky and get silver halves (sometimes entire rolls). i haven't really tried since moving to new york, but i low-key think there could be more to be had here. but i'd have to make time for it ... the idea of "going to the bank" has sorta fallen off the radar, and i'm about to close my account at chase (i'm moving my banking relationships to credit unions, which i don't think will have that much of this sort of action).

all i find here are occasional canadian coins (and none since i don't go to the market where the coinstar machine is located anymore...).

Ok. Hard to believe I don't have any ikes... So let's start at 4.99

i just saw that ulster bank note somewhere else and really liked it ...

Reddit? I'm not sure that's very active for this... I went dormant wrt my collections for a long while but I'm preparing to return. Probably fewer coins, more notes and literature. I wasn't a very organized collector but maybe that will change now...

that's a great start ... i think it may be difficult to reach many kids this way for a bunch of reasons, but i also think there's a fundamental sort of curiosity that perhaps can be tapped.
when i'm reaching across certain divides and i have to write for younger or less literate audiences i use a tool like this: http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ ... it analyzes your writing and helps you break things into more accessible bites.

and I have trouble believing wheat rolls are really 'unsearched'.
exactly. that's right up there with "the IRS is here to help you" and "the great pumpkin is on the way!"

I sold off most of my collection when I started grad school, so now I'm thinking about returning and what I might return to. I think you're doing a really generous thing, Art ... The only bit I wonder about is whether or not what you write is meaningful to those you're giving these coins to ...

i'm surprised it doesn't yet exist. this can't be a unique need.

For example the ink used on US currency.
no problem. squeeze that into your inkjet or laser printer at home and you're good to go

i've never liked the albums where you press the coin into the cardboard (although i'd totally buy one to use to keep track of what i have).
home-produced albums almost certainly have problems like chemicals that would interfere with preservation ... you could go out and buy the right kind of paper, but labels and printer stuff would screw things up.
art's idea of an app to produce this stuff is pretty cool, presumably that you could print it "safely."

my stepmom worked at the American Banknote Company. never brought home any samples
A lot - they were printed by the American Banknote Company. It's one of their standard style of designs!

I'm in! (Now I need to find a cool banknote to use ... )

has the mintage been reduced?

bitcoin is a virtual currency not backed by any government. there are no bitcoin notes or coins; the evidence of the currency exists only in digital form. Wikipedia talks about Bitcoin reasonably.

So if you got a chance to look at the 2004 CoinPeople Short Snorters, you might enjoy looking at the 2006 CoinPeople Short Snorters.
that was fun!

Naturally I presume it's a fake but I always have hopes of a misprint.
Any thoughts?
i'd presume it was a fake. there are lots of fake one pound coins.
but there's actually a good reason to do this now: 2016 is the last year of the round pound. there's a new design this year (i like the new design but it might be too busy for a coin the size of the pound), and then that's it. From 2017 it will be a twelve-sided coin.

here you go "owl of Athena"
very cool ... my first exposure to this was actually not at a coin, but at my first "real" job ...

those dancing santas were fun!

ooh ... now i have to find something cool to share around ...

Some guy only tipped me $2! Unbelievable!
well, for a single cocktail at a bar that might be ok. for a full meal with people, probably not.

I wouldn't. It's a fake rarity, and it's kinda ugly.
