Over the past six months or so, we've come up with a handful of numismatic puns. Not enough to qualify for a blog post, so we could use some more. Can you add any to this list?
Has anyone ever taken a proof coin and put it in some pudding, just because?
What do you call a coin midway to its destination? Half Cent.
Why was the numismatist excited about his evening? Because he had a key date that night.
What kind of coin do you put in a bathroom? A Voce Potpourri.
What did the tiny numismatist use to protect himself? A Shield Nickel.
Shouldn't a Clamshell Lamination just be called a Clamination?

"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Best coin joke I ever heard was years ago a dealer said this to me. Two coin dealers on a plane flight somehow survive a crash on a deserted island. They are there for years, before finally being rescued. Both dealers after rescue were asked how was their show, and they both said, best show I ever had! (Traded and sold to each other for years until rescue) It requires the delivery and such to say it, but I thought it was so funny! Again, kind of only a joke that works in person, but still…
I was so happy when my wife said she got me a $1000 Bill today - Unfortunatly it was the grocery bill!

There once was an engraver named Eckfeld
No man In greater esteem was held.
Along came brer Slick
And made us all sick.
“I’m so much smarter than brer Mark Feld.”

No less than the size of a horse
He's old and he's gray
Like they all are today
With a mustard stained shirt of course
There once was a giant coin show
With dealers along every row
They all booked their flights
For Saturday night
So Sunday's a bad time to go
... In a shirt stained with mustard, of course.
Good one! Fixed the meter for you.
