My first coin ever

AnkurJ · January 29, 2011 2:24PM

So when I was four years old, I went to the Empire State Building for the first time. I don't remember any of it, but as a souvenier, my brother had this coin made for us with our names and the date. I found it when going through a box of stuff. So this is officially my first coin

Most of the ropeways up mountains to castle's, etc. here in Japan have those coin machines that stamp in whatever you select. Here in Iwakuni at the Kintai Bridge and Castle they have one and every time I take someone out there I make them a coin for a memento. Always a good gift.

Even at that tender young age numismania was beginning to drag you under.

Uber cool first 'coin'.

Looks like Liberty is wearing a rubber clown nose!

I was thinking Liberty had the same nose as Squidward.

It's a nice token!

I've been making elongated cents with Broadstruck Jr. on trips and he already has quite a collection.

bronzemat · January 30, 2011 2:48AM

I like it, very cool.

airplanenut · January 30, 2011 3:12AM

Not a coin

I like going back and looking at the beginnings of my collection, too. While their value pales in comparison to what I buy now, each of those coins has a story to tell, and somehow got me where I am today.

TPRC · January 30, 2011 3:41AM

And the rest, as they say...is history!
