    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    My makers are both passed. But I have often thought about what I would want with me. And then I think about what a shame it would be to take anything with me at all. It is not like I am really going to miss it.

    I would rather leave my coins to my family. Where I'm going, a coin would probably melt.

    A couple of chain cents links up over my eyelids would do fine.

    To the thread starter:

    Did you enjoy "owning" that 1 favorite coin of yours? Did it bring you happiness and joy the entire time you had the pleasure of "owning" it? The reason I put that word in quotations is that we really never "own" anything. When it comes to coins especially, we are simply long term curators. It is our job/mission....at least it should be....to protect and preserve these coins so that future coin collectors may experience the same gratifying feelings that we have been able to feel. To bury a coin with your corpse would be to commit numismatic sin...or at the very least extreme selfishness.

    Nothing. In fact, I want to be stripped of all valuables and buried naked in a $100 pine box, or better yet, be cremated on a funeral pire like the Norse people used to do. That would be cool. image

    I ain't going unless I have a hot pastrami on rye in my hand,

    a bottle of cream soda by my side and a good, crisp, garlic pickle

    334b. His fare is not accepted in the great ship;
    334c. the palace of the Great cannot ward him off from the way of the œḥd.w-stars.
    335a. Behold, therefore, N. has attained the heights of heaven.

    445a. To say: O Hrti of Nsȝ.t, ferryman of the ’Iḳh.t-boat, made by Khnum,
    445b. bring this (boat) to N. N. is Seker of R-Œtȝ.w.
    445c. N. is on the way to the place of Seker, chief of Pdw-š.
    445d. It is our brother who is bringing this (boat) for these bridge-girderers (?) of the desert.

    This is some of the oldest writing in the world but gets scant attention. It is usually interpreted to be incantation.

    I have no clue what a "fare" might be. I doubt it's a token. image Most of the rest seems easy enough to figure out.

    I have several religious art rounds - one with a nice cross, another with the Lord's prayer, and forgot what other is. One or two of these would be nice -- I do like a simple cross.

    Oh I understand that finality but I also understand about having a little fun discussing stupid stuff!

    Probably too early for the 'post of the year', but that's the best one I've heard yet, anyway.

    I would think it a shame to deprive future collectors of the enjoyment of owning any of my coins by burying them. Instead, I would like to be buried with a bottle of my favorite scotch, preferably one that has not been passed through any of my friends kidneys first. image
