Numismatic checks

cullenbryant · October 16, 2005 8:45AM

does anybody know of a place where you can order checks that
have images of coins in the background?

WTCG · October 16, 2005 9:21AM

Ask your bank and they should be able to let you know what they can do.

cullenbryant · October 16, 2005 9:27AM

negatory on the bank, already tried that. haven't been able to
find an online source either

You can create one with Walmart's photo check service.

would have never thought wal mart,
if it was a snake it would have bit me. thx russ

A lot of strangers are going to see your checks and if your checks have your name and address as most do, you may be creating a security breach that you may one day live to regret. Keep your hobby confidential!!!

cullenbryant · October 16, 2005 10:43AM

thats a good point.... i was thinking about some biz checks with biz location/name.

I used to like you Russ.

OK for a coin dealer........not sure I'd want that on a personal check.......

mrearlygold · October 16, 2005 12:11PM

Pretty neat

keets · October 16, 2005 12:15PM

you guys are entirely too paranoid to think that a crook might hone in on you because there are coins pictured on your checks!!! it's comical to think about, almost like saying that if you personalized checks with a picture of a child you'd be sending an invitation to a pedophile.

let's get real, they're checks.

Telling the whole world that you're a coin collector is not too bright. Most collectors want to keep a low profile for security reasons.

keets · October 16, 2005 11:17PM

Telling the whole world that you're a coin collector is not too bright.

how does having coins pictured on a check equate to telling the whole world you're a coin collector?? if i have pictures of Yachts on my checks, does it mean i own a Yacht?? No. if i have pictures of songbirds on my checks, does it mean i'm a birdwatcher?? No.

what your line of thinking tells me is that you're just a bit ego-centric with a sense of false self-importance. the world doesn't really pay that much attention to you and thinking it does is a bit paranoid. maybe you should just get those pretty blue checks which are blank accept for the needed information, but wait..................if you write a check for any kind of substantial amount, someone may think you're loaded.....................

Yeah, nobody stole my Corvette when I had Corvette checks for my auto account.

I would bet that upwards of 95% of the recipients of the check would not notice what the design is, only the dollars and cents. Those that do notice are probably coin collectors.

Cladiator · October 17, 2005 2:30AM

Too bad you can't get checks with a pic of a crook getting blasted by a .357 magnum

BlindedByEgo · October 17, 2005 4:07AM

<<Too bad you can't get checks with a pic of a crook getting blasted by a .357 magnum>>

See the aformentioned Wal-Mart

No Keets, I'm with the paranoid group. I use a crosscut shredder for all of my numismatic trash, and I’m careful with waste paper. I also do all of my numismatic and hobby business via a post office box. If you won’t business with me via my PO box, you don’t do business with me. Too many collectors have been beaten, robbed and had their homes invaded at gunpoint.

You catch me running around with one of those tie bars that says, “I collect coins” on it. When it comes to the coin hobby keeping your head down in the foxhole is a good policy.

keets · October 17, 2005 4:46AM

it's also paranoid, Bill.

cullenbryant · October 24, 2005 4:33AM

this was what i came up with. Maybe i will be passing a check somewhere and strike up
some coin talk with someone
order your own checks if you want, this design is free to use.
anybody else got a montage they would put on a check?

Here is the checks I use. They are not specifically numismatic, but still a related theme.

Cool,

how do you get your checks to change images like that?

solid · October 24, 2005 5:55AM

They are special checks designed to mesmerize and confuse the receiving party. I've also been known to use disappearing ink from time to time.

Barry · October 24, 2005 6:01AM

We must be neighbors. I live in Anytown, USA, too...

On a related note, I know someone who had trouble getting people to believe his name and address were real. His name is Joe Smith, and when he was in college, he lived on Main St. in Johnson City, NY.

keets · October 24, 2005 6:07AM

i know a guy who says plainly on his checks that he's a layyer and he hasn't been shot at yet!!

streeter · October 24, 2005 7:05AM

Put me in the paranoid group. Loose lips sink ships.

Print a picture of a Rottweiler on your check.

HistoryStudent · October 24, 2005 7:12AM

<< it's also paranoid, Bill. >>

You are always quite a card.

The fellow just careful that's all.

With all HOME INVASIONS _ GOOGLE IT!_

one should not advertise his collections, period.
