I do not know if I ever was "cool" and thus qualified to give an opinion
, but some of the items I have seen and like are:
1. The clear acrylic plastic toilet seat and lid with silver, copper and nickel coins embedded inside;
2. Some of the old metal coin banks dating from the 1930's and earlier;
3. Some coin jewelry where a silver or gold coin has had the flat fields cut out, leaving only the rims, denticals and devices present;
4. The montage posters/pictures/screen savers showing a wide array of beautiful, toned coins; and
5. (I actually have this) A Record Album cover dating from 1953 that has on its front cover a picture of loose pocket change spread over a flat surface. The title of the Album is "Here's Your Change" and the Album contained a record of "Jazz Music For People Who Don't Care About Money". The coins pictured on the album includes circulated and uncirculated wheaties, buffalo and Jefferson nickels, mercury and Roosevelt dimes, SLQ and Washington quarters, Walking Liberty and Franklin halves and Morgan and Peace dollars. The coins were probably obtained from pocket change that people had lying around in 1953.
How about you?
