I have an Altoids tin that I keep one dollar bills in. Kinda like saving spare change.
You have a nice start kid. Keep it up!

 

Thank you so much!

 

Yes sir. Very nice. Looks much like my grandsons coin box.

 

This is in my Altoids can

 

Mine was a cigar box...now it's all over the house...

 

I used a couple of Altoids tins to hold any new "50 state quarters" I would find in my pocket change. Need to go back and take a look at how many I have. I only kept the ones that were in good condition.

 

You have a very good start there...I don't have a tin to keep change in but all of my various "this and that" coins go in 2x2s and into a 3 ring binder.

 

I have a 3 ring binder as well... these are my silver, uncirculated, and proof coins in this box

 

Nice collection, good on you!

 

Nice collection! What's in that white drawstring pouch?

 

Medals are are great addition to any collection.

 

The one with the F-35 is cool. Looks like a challenge coin.

 

It is!

 

Iron ingots... 1 oz

 

That's a neat looking old style key.

 

Thanks... my mom bought a bag of ‘em and I took 1

 

Back in the 1970s I started my coin collecting, or coin hoarding. lol
I used about any containers - coffee containers, chewing tobacco containers, tootsie rolls, etc.
I have yet to actually looks through them for anything. This box is probably from the mid to late 1970s. It all started when I dug up a mercury dime while my parents were digging holes for fence posts. That dime is my avatar.


fyi, that bank acct number you see written was last used in 1984. lol It's from my original Michigan National bank which has been gone for decades.

 

I would love to go through those and look at them... that’s a lot of change... how bout this?

 

and people think the coin shortage is due to Covid .. LOL

I have jars and jars of pennies and quarters too, and ammo boxes of nickels/dimes.

There some pictures of some poster who uses 55 gallon drums to store their coins. lol and I recall one picture of stacks of burlap bags or something sitting on a row of safes in their garage.

but you've started and that's the fun part.
