I often wondered if there is intelligent life elsewhere in our galaxy the Milky Way, do they collect coins?

Yes, I do believe there is intelligent life out there.

Our next closest galaxy Andromeda (also known as M31 and NGC 224) is only 2.5 million light years away.

It is also a spiral galaxy, similar to ours. Do you suppose intelligent life there are into collecting coins?

What sort of alien elements are out there? Can you imagine gold being as common as beach sand, on a planet in the Andromeda galaxy.

Yeah, it would take an eletronic signal a total of
one second to travel from here to the moon.

It takes longer than that for my ATM machine to
verify my PIN number!!

By which time coins of any kind will likely be obsolete, and all commerce will be by electronic transfer. But then again, who knows- people might still want something "tangible" to hold in their hands.

It might be of more interest if the UK had actually managed to launch a guy into orbit.
