Here’s a picture of mine I took a while back. Only the Stone Mountain one is missing now, hopefully it’ll show back up.

Yes. Every day since I was 23, and my Father for 40 years before that, for a total of 85 years.
I used to... until I kept on losing them... :-/

Does a key chain coin count? I cannot get coins to stay in my pocket most of the time.

I even got a larger coin holder from Butternut at one point... but I lost that one too!
I've had better luck with this one!

Been carrying around an impaired proof for a few years now.
Tried to keep track of a bashlow CSA cent….spent it accidentally
For posterity's sake, I keep a 1957 Duro (5 Peseta) Spanish coin which I got in change over there as a freshly minted college grad. It would grade AU. On the obverse, it has a pic of General Franco (all Spanish coins did at that time), with the wording (translated into English) "Francisco Franco, Lord and Protector of Spain by the Grace of God." It strikes me as bizarre now as it did when I got the coin, which is why I kept it.
"Seu cabra da peste,
"Sou Mangueira......."
Started carrying this one about seven years ago, a coin I designed in 2006 using my wife and myself as models for the legs. Mint luster is nearly gone even though I carry it only about half the time; some of my pants pockets accommodate coins better than others.

I carry a half oz silver round. Any thing more valuable than that I will lose.
Photo taken almost two years ago. They don't look all that different now, except the Kennedy half is loose in my pocket instead of the key ring.

Gave my dateless standing Liberty Quarter away just yesterday. And I’m selling one(WLH) on eBay now.

I may have told this story, already. If so, sorry for the repeat. I have three pocket pieces: a Mercury Dime (year isn't important to me), an 1864 2-Cent Piece (this coin and this year because it was the inscription "In God We Trust" was put on a US coin - for better for for worse), and a Morgan Dollar (year isn't important to me).
The Mercury Dime was the first silver type I fell in love with as a kid! After collecting cents, nickels, dimes and quarters from pocket change and plugging holes in my Whitman folders (back in the late 70's/early 80's you would regularly find Wheat Cents and silver in pocket change), I got to go to a coin show with my dad. There, I saw it! A Mercury Dime in BU condition! Love at first sight! I had to have it!
The Morgan Dollar was the first "real" investment I made in a silver coin. As a kid, I bought a Morgan Dollar for $15.00, and thought I was some sort of big-deal collector! Since then, I've loved Morgan Dollars, and have had many in and out of my possession over the decades. Also, I love the feel of the heavy silver dollar, and the ring when I flip it in the air for "heads or tails"!
The 2-Cent Piece - partly because of the history of the inscription "In God We Trust". But, also, because it's a type that not many non-collectors have seen or even have heard of! So, when I was at work, during a meeting, I would occasionally take it out and toss it on the conference room table, and say "I'd like to throw my 2-cents in"! When people realized what I did, it got some chuckles. But, it also got a few people interested in what that strange coin was! And, I even sold two 1864 2-Cent pieces after they learned a little about the coin!
I don't think I ever convinced anyone to be a coin collector, but at least a few people have learned something from my pocket pieces, and a couple now own their very own 2-Cent piece!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
My 3 pocket pieces. My first and only W quarter found in change. The other 2 were found in a Coinstar machine.😎
I've had this 1879-CC on my key chain for about 10 years.
My Adolph A. Weinman signature
I used to carry this. I lost it in the backyard for about a week. Now I just keep it in my desk.

I have a 1901 Half Dollar that I used to carry, but it has been MIA for over year.
Is that an O mintmark?

This has been my card protector in poker tournaments for over a decade. It's also just in my pocket a lot.
