I carry this '97 eagle in my watch pocket that I got at the bank awhile back for a dollar.

 

I carry a Peace Dollar. I got into silver and was going crazy because I could not "handle" it. I carry a Peace Dollar that has melt vallue. someone 'cleaned' it in the past, so when I was new, I paid too much for it. ha ha John D

 

Two Peace dollars, S 1922 and 1923. One is poorly toned. They are from my dad's hoard and I generally take them in hand and rub them together when stressed or bored.

 

Although I don't use it as a pocket piece, I have shared my 1794 large cent with students in history classes.

 

I carry a '22 Peace Dollar, '37 Walker, '46 Washington and '39 Merc. I love the jingle of silver in my pocket.

 

I always thought pocket pieces are for the long haul, but I tend to use one or a few for a month or so, then change it up.

 

coin? you mean planchet

 

I travel domestic and international a lot. I hang a AGE .10 and .25 around my neck with a fitbit. Feel like it is good luck and insurance in a pinch.

 

I keep a 1947 Walker in my pocket. It's my birth year.

 

Trivia question: What literary character carried two ball bearings in his pocket and pulled them out and rattled them together when stressed?

 

I used to have a early 1900's Cuban silver coin as a pocket piece and then lost it.
With my luck the only way I would carry a pocket piece is as a coin fob attached to my keys.

And for me it has to be a silver coin, at least 100 years old

 

I kept P-38 (can opener) on my key chain for years and never once used it.

 

I bit that's fun going thru airports today.

 

Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny with Humphrey Bogart.

 

How about 2300 years old?

 

Some here. Right after 9/11, when I was traveling internationally, I got stopped by TSA (or who ever it was) at JFK and they wanted to confiscate it. The guy was actually taking it off my key chain. I asked him what the hell he was going? He said he was taking the P-38 for security reasons. I grabbed it out of his hand and said, like hell you are!

Obviously, they weren't going to let me thru security with it. I got on of line, went back to the unsecure area and mailed it home. From that day on, I left it at home every time I was traveling.

 

Winnah!

 

Honestly, nary a problem! I never take it off! However, I have also graduated to the "speed lane" for frequent travellers. But, even before that, or even at the smaller airports, I have never had to remove it. Odd...

 

No way I would use such a nice coin like that as a pocket piece.
