    Lovely coin to start with, and I mean that wholeheartedly and sincerely.
    Coincidentally, that coin happens to be 11 years older than I am; fancy that. :happy::happy:

    The guy riding shotgun looks like he could be Mercury. No double snake staff, but he's got the winged helmet!

    Two anthropomorphised planet-gods riding tandem on a heroic wave-running "seahorse"; what could possibly be a more mind-bending/blowing image than that? :artist:

    Now, something bi-metallic (or a Lincoln if you've got something too cool to not post).

    It's very exclusive. I'm the Head Honcho, Bird in Charge. Members of the 'flock' are basically my two dogs. No one else in the house cares much about the coins ;).

    Actually, it was a 'wholesome' nightclub: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stork_Club

    Another bimetallic Mexico 2015 Mexico 10 peso obv.JPG 2015 Mexico 10 peso rev.JPG My neighbor gave me this one a few months ago. He is in Afghanistan now, before that Poland. I hope he brings more coins for me when he comes back! I don't travel much anymore, so I can bug my globe trotter friends for coins now.

    It appears that once the bi-metallic bandwagon got rolling everybody and his brother was more than ready and willing to jump on it. Hiyo, Non-Silver away! :singing:

    Odd shapes! I put this together when someone was pontificating about how by definition coins were round. Billions might say otherwise ;)
