Scottishmoney Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I do, I have carried it in my wallet for about 10 years now. I brought it with me to show my Great Grandmother. I liked it because it was made the year she was born, in 1905. Now that she is gone, I keep it in memory of her. It is a 1905 Indian cent, it is not a fancy piece, but rather well circulated and shows from having been in my wallet for so long. Now this year would have been her 100th and this coin is now 100 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I used to carry a 1974 Ike but I don't go anywhere anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I keep a WLH in my pocket all the time. Hasn't really started to get extra wear yet (only been two months). Interested to see how the old coins wear compared to modern coins. My other pocket contains a Kennedy Half of roughly the same grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarCheryl Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I do have a "coin" that I carry around with me in my purse at all times. Its not a spendable coin. Bobby's grandma gave it to me....its an angel coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 They come and go. Currently, I carry a one-ounce silver round commemorating the Texas Rangers, in a plastic "airtite" case. I carry it when I am on patrol as a safety officer. It is in my top shirt pocket over my heart. I have a sport coat with a French 5 Franc from 1830-something. The outer breast pocket of a sport coat does not get much use, of course, so the coin sits there, toning. In my checkbook, at the top of the register, under the plastic, is a Moroccan banknote: "Bank of Maghrib." It has been there for about 10 years. Also, right now, I have been carrying One Traverse City Bay Buck in my wallet -- sometimes it gets pretty lonely, but sometimes it has federal friends.

Ætheling Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I carry three coins representing the three traditional mainstream coin metals. A battered British Charles II gold half guinea from the 1670s. A low grade and counterstamped 1697 British William III Silver halfcrown and a bronze Roman Follis of the Emperor Licinius minted in the early 300 CE era.

Art Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have a box of poket pieces that I carry on and off. Many end up being given away and are then replaced with something else from the box. Current is a Canadian Large Cent - well worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I carry one off and on, an 1890 UK Victoria Jubilee Head Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I was carrying this around..... But I lost it three weeks ago. So now it's a 1962 british penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have a number of them that I rotate. I also lost one not too long ago up in North Dakota or South Dakota. I can't remember which Dakota it was. It was a '99 SAE that I had been carrying around for 6 years. Ticked me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 There are the ones I use on and off. That pic is a couple of years old and the SAE is no more. I am also not sure where the Kennedy, the SBA and the Sackie are but I think they are still around the house somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've got a 2000-P Sacagawea that I carry around every day now for about 4 years now. I want to see how it wears down, and not much is happening besides turning brown. Think I need to throw a couple more coins in the mix, and wear her down.

ccg Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 No I keep spending them. . . Same. 2-euro cent, Sacky dollars, whatever it is, I always end up spending it when I'm not paying attention to my change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I don't, I sometimes think I should take one of the barely recongnizable uncleaned slugs and see if carrying it makes any improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt-AWACS Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I carry at least one Ike, sometimes more, a Belize dollar, and of course no self respecting aviator would be without his Air Force Sqd coin (a challenge coin)-every squadron has one.

Dockwalliper Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have been carring a '76 Ike for the last 18 months. Ever since I dug it up with my detector. It has lightened considerably. Theres a pic in Omnicoin. http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=896417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2coins Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Yes!, A Morgan Dollar money clip. I just gave it to my son, had it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 An 1842 large cent. Surfaces are somewhat pitted so I'm trying to wear it down so it looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I usually have a couple of halves in my pocket which I spend pretty regularly (I like supporting the underutilized denominations), and occasionally I carry another more interesting coin with me. I just spent a few days down in Louisville on business and was carrying a 1924-S Peace dollar in my pocket while I was there. Now it's back on my desk.
