    A few months ago, back in July, there was a wonderful fellow who knew of my birthday, and wanted to send me a present. Such a kind gesture, the miscreant (Mike, and he's not such) sent me a birth year coin. I misplaced the noble gesture and just recently stumbled (yesterday) upon it. I post it here (photogs) along with my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful fellow this gentleman is. His name shall remain anonymous (@micbraun) in the annals of cointalk. Love ya brother.......:)

    For a while now, I've been creating "coin family trees", with the birth year and country coins on the family tree.
    I'll see if I can post up some photos.

    It requires round cut outs for each coin, on thick black card. It's evolved a bit, but the best way is to have 3 layers, with front and back black card with round holes for the coins, and a centre layer with square cut outs for standard coin holders. The whole thing is mounted in a picture frame.
    The first couple had photos as well, but it looks cleaner without.
