<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1462878, member: 15929&quot;]Numismatic Value? Well, if you consider the fact that they sell for way more than their intrinsic metal content, then YES, they have Numismatic Value.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3DBenin%2BCannabis%26_in_kw%3D1%26_ex_kw%3D%26_sacat%3D0%26_okw%3D%26_oexkw%3D%26_adv%3D1%26LH_Complete%3D1%26_udlo%3D%26_udhi%3D%26_samilow%3D%26_samihi%3D%26_sadis%3D200%26_fpos%3D%26_fsct%3D%26LH_SALE_CURRENCY%3D0%26_sop%3D10%26_dmd%3D1%26_ipg%3D200" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3DBenin%2BCannabis%26_in_kw%3D1%26_ex_kw%3D%26_sacat%3D0%26_okw%3D%26_oexkw%3D%26_adv%3D1%26LH_Complete%3D1%26_udlo%3D%26_udhi%3D%26_samilow%3D%26_samihi%3D%26_sadis%3D200%26_fpos%3D%26_fsct%3D%26LH_SALE_CURRENCY%3D0%26_sop%3D10%26_dmd%3D1%26_ipg%3D200" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Benin+Cannabis&amp;_in_kw=1&amp;_ex_kw=&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_okw=&amp;_oexkw=&amp;_adv=1&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;_udlo=&amp;_udhi=&amp;_samilow=&amp;_samihi=&amp;_sadis=200&amp;_fpos=&amp;_fsct=&amp;LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&amp;_sop=10&amp;_dmd=1&amp;_ipg=200</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coin itself, I believe it was the first of three commemorative issued by Benin to commemorate &quot;The Plants of the World. The coin is &quot;supposed&quot; to smell like Cannabis but I didn&#039;t think so on any of the examples I purchased. And yes, I purchased quite a few of these as gifts for some friends that have Medical Marijuana permits and require the drug to alleviate pain and associated problems due to certain medical conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the &quot;dross&quot; comment. Numismatics is so much more than simple PM values or government issued coinage. Folks purchase and collect all kinds of medals and coins for various reasons. Some pieces bring very high dollars simply because of the quality or subject matter and in my opinion, this particular coin is absolutely no different, other than the PM content, than Canada&#039;s Loony or be-jeweled Maple Leaf&#039;s or the various Commemoratives that the US Treasury produces every year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
