clifford1987 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just wonder if anyone always puts one particular coin in his pocket as the "lucky coin" or some kind of juju? (I don't know how native English speakers call it...) To me, it's a 2008 proof silver eagle which replaced 1904 Kiang Nan Province 7 Mace and 2 Candareens. Because that coin has a large dragon on its reverse, and the Bible said "The great dragon was hurled down- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray." I don't wonna have anything about Satan in my pocket. One day I found the eagle's capsule was full of dust. I opened the capsule and left a few scratches after trying to clean the coin. So this eagle ended up in my pocket to be the "lucky coin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Good topic, Cliff! I have never had a coin like this though I did try to carry around an old, bent large cent for a while. A dealer gave it to me. Nothing special about it other than it was a 150+ year old piece of copper in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Six peace dollars dated 1922 and 1923, that are all circulated anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I don't carry one any more but for several years I did carry a seriously worn (we're talking Poor-, near blank disc) Charles II half guinea. It was retired a few years ago and now resides in a bag of junk early milled silver, safely under lock and key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 When I wear jeans, I carry these coins in the "watch pocket": 1923 Peace dollar, holed 1900 O Morgan, worn down 1821 Louis XVIII 5 franc piece, holed and very worn 1838 Louis-Philippe 5 franc piece, holed and worn Somehow the weight of the silver is reassuring. Don't know if that counts as lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Canada 1972 S$1 or 1968 US 50c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 In the past I've carried anything from an 1804 half cent to a counterfeit draped bust dollar. Right now I have 4 Byzantine phollis in my pocket that I am retoning after a rather nasty chemical peel, haha. Normally though I just carry around an old coin with a neat design; it's fun to show people random old junk like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was carrying a 2005 SAE. But have since lost it someplace during the move. Just started showing some wear too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I never carry change anymore. Currency is next to just not be necessary. I seldom ever use money anymore. Way to many benifits with plastic. Many companies give you a monitary reward for using thier cards so out with cash. Sorry but that is the way of the future.

jtryka Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have a 1951 silver Mexican 5-peso that has a ring soldered on it, so I have it as a key chain in my pocket, and it's been getting pretty shiny over the last year and a half or so.

Rhino Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have a 1951 silver Mexican 5-peso that has a ring soldered on it, so I have it as a key chain in my pocket, and it's been getting pretty shiny over the last year and a half or so. That just made me think: have any of you converted a coin into a keychain on purpose? Just by drilling a hole or something through the top, and attaching a chain, and attacking it to keys? I think I may have just found a use for the Chinese fakes that can be purchased on ebay for $1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I FOUND MY POCKET PIECES! Was going through all my coins, starting to get them lined up for photographs and I pulled a bag of silver out (my girlfriend just took stuff and threw it in bags if it was "shiny"). 2006 SAE and 1921 S Morgan. WOOHOO! Sadly the SAE has a slight rim bump Maybe I can wear it down so it isn't very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've been trying to decide on a pocket piece, actually. It'll probably be a Brit pre-decimal, though I can't rule a Polish piece out. Maybe one of each. When golfing, I use a Scottish shilling to mark my ball on the green -- that seemed both obvious and appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
