Numismatic humor is a tall order

Numismatic humor is a tall order since fiscal jocularity and dry / dusty coin collectors are usually very distant relations. Coin collectors may be characters, but usually not comics.
There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang
out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know
what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly
tease him.
They would always comment that he was two bricks shy
of a load or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it,
sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between
a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and Johnny
would always take the nickel (they said) because it was
bigger.
One day after Johnny grabbed the nickel, the store
owner took him aside and said "Johnny, those boys
are making fun of you. They think you don't know the
dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing
the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"
With a big grin on his face, Johnny slowly turned
toward the store owner. "Well," he answered, "If I
took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've
saved $20!"

You should never listen to coins - they make no cents.
Ever wander why so many coins look alike? It’s no coinincidence...
A mother took their child to the emergency room after the child swallowed a few coins. When the mother asked for an update the nurse said, “no change yet.”
What do you call coins left out in the rain? Climate change.
A numismatist was sitting reading a yet to be released copy of the VAM book. Another numismatist saw him and asked, "Where did you get that book? It hasn't even been released yet!" He replied, "This girl walked up to me, threw the book down, stripped off all of her clothes and said take what you want!" The other numismatist said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."

A soldier in WWII was shot but coins in his pocket stopped the bullet.
It was his life savings.

In Vegas, a blonde walks up to a Coke machine and puts in a coin.
Out pops a Coke. The blonde looks amazed and runs away to get some more coins.
She returns and starts feeding the machine madly, and of course the machine keeps popping out the drinks.
Another person walks up behind the blonde and watches her antics for a few minutes before stopping her and asking if someone else could have a go.
The blonde spins around and shouts in her face: "Can't you see I'm winning?"

I hate that ATMs don't dispense coins.
It just doesn't make cents.
