I've almost completed my US 50 state commemorative quarters collection. The coin above I found from loose coins the other day. I had to put this in the plastic wrap because the new coin album I got only keeps coins in the wrap, otherwise they'll slip out.

It has been a while. I've been busy, really busy trying to get my masters. Anyway, I'm still collecting and picking coins. I have more coins to share here. I need to scan them first.

The image above is a Canadian 1 dollar coin, commonly refer to locally as the "loonie". Perhaps because of the image of a common loon on the reverse side of the coin. The coin above instead of the

For something fun I decided to collect US Pennies. I am actually enjoying it, flipping every penny I come across and check what date it is. I don't know what I'll do when I'm done with it. I wonder how difficult/easy to get the years from 1956 and before. We'll see how far back I can find coins. My oldest is 1939 and up to 2008. I got a coin folder for $2 from one of the bookshops here. It is

Do you have a Thai coin? When I lived in Laos for about 6 years I studied the language, reading and speaking. Thai and Lao language are similar, the writing which is both based on sanskrit are also similar. The Lao writing has been simplified and there are a several letters in the alphabet that has been removed while Thai kept most of it if not all. Thai Year is different from the Western

I was cleaning my car the other day and found this old coin under the driver's seat, what a luck. Of course I was really happy. I have two now! My first one I got from Nepal, long away from the US. Value is about $0.04, not much but it's worth to keep for trading.

It was a staggering collection, being in Asia (Laos) I depended on swapping with fellow collectors and when friends and families came back from a US trip.

A MEDAL? FOR WHAT?Year 2004, I was back in Laos again to visit my sister who was teaching English in Vientiane and to see friends (I lived there for I think 6 years, between 1997-2004) As usual when I visit a city I go looking for a coin anywhere in between my catching up with friends and site seeing. When I lived in Laos I have never bought a single coin, I found one on the street. Anyway, this

Some years ago my husband and I decided to spent our new year in China. He's been to this lovely place before we got married and he wanted to take me there. So after a long night's trip in a stuffy bus from Yunnan to this old town called Lijiang I found myself fascinated with all these old people early in the morning, old men with birds in particular, basking in the sun, blowing smoke and with

I have been waiting to get loose change of the 1 dollar coin that commemorates US dead Presidents. It seems like people are hoarding them. Anyway, one night my husband came home from work and said he has a surprise for me. He pulled out a bunch of 1 dollar coins. I asked him where he found them. He said from the car park after he paid/fed too much bill into the machine and spit all these 1 dollar
