lightside are US coins
Darksider = a cultured, intelligent individual with superior taste, who prefers world coins (he is also allowed to collect United States coins if he wants).
Greysider = a person who collects Canadian coins. In other words, somebody who can't really make up his mind if he's a Darksider or a Litesider.

I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.
Why, shucks... you're custom-made for the Darkness !! You'll get way more bang for your buck (not to mention history and geography), over there! And we don't even demand your slavish obedience... you're still allowed to play with your Liteside habit, as long as you don't spend ten thousand bucks for a coin just because it has a cute little plastic holder with the number "70" on it, or something like that!
Why limit yourself?

Yap stone money?
Why yes, it does have a hole in it, now that you mention it. But if I put any on my vest, I think it might slow me down just a little teeny bit! (Besides, I only collect coins with "aftermarket" holes, not mintmade holes, and I think the Yap money's holes count as "mintmade", sort of. My grandmother had a piece of it in her front yard in Stuart, Florida. As I mentioned in another thread, it must have been a Yap half cent or somethin', because it was pretty small (large pizza sized). At first, it looked like she had two Yap coins- one light colored and one dark (hey, there's that metaphor again!), but the lighter colored one was an old millstone made of some sort of granitey-lookin' stone. The Yap money was obviously made of volcanic rock.
My grandmother passed on 23 years ago, but as far as I know, there is still a piece of Yap small change and an millstone lying in the front yard of a house in Stuart, Florida, if the Bermuda grass in the lawn by the driveway hasn't swallowed 'em up.
Nearly thirty years after she moved out of it, I can still smell the interior of that house- a mixture of paint and perfume and books and humidity. (Grammy was an accomplished painter, and I still cherish an oil painting she made of me when I was just three). I can feel the summer heat on the driveway, and the blast of air conditioning as we came in the side door. I had to leave my flip-flops outside, because they were usually all sandy from a trip to the beach, and loaded with sandspurs. (Some Yankees are lucky enough to not know what a sandspur is, I reckon. Just ask a Floridian sometime!)
Huh? Where am I? What was I talkin' about?
Geez. That little sentimental journey down memory lane has wandered a bit far off topic, if in fact I was ever on-topic to begin with!

LordM very nice. I felt the sand on my feet while reading from my NC banks youth.
I hope this slight OT to the dark side is OK. I tried to get Yap stone money recently but my Yapese friends I work with everyday said impossible. They said the more valuable pieces were from foreign rock that had to be transferred over the high seas on flimsy vessels with often life sacrifice.
In fact better I print this out and show it to them and get back to you on the pm or worst
