hope you like this little snippet of some of my favourite coins........now the fun part, who can identify them all????

 

I think I would take the silver ones, on the off chance that a passing boat wants payment.

 

I would take ten of the most beat up junk Morgan/Peace dollars that I could find. There is no point taking anything of greater value over the market value of the base metal since there would be no place to store and protect them from environmental damage.

What happened to taking along a sexy plaything?

 

I agree, I don't "need" coins. Women are essential and necessary for the good of humanity.

 

Will just sit there and look at them.

 

I'd take the ones I could eat, use to find food and water, make fire with, and buid shelter with. Any of you ever heard of any coins fitting those paramiters?

Now realisticaly, I would take any large and lustrous coins, to help signal any passing boats.

 

Hockey pucks! But, how long would they stay lustrous? If you eventually got rescued, the pucks will have been improperly cleaned and full of hairlines.

The problem with this is that she will eventually get bored, start to nag and before you know it, you will both be on opposite ends of the island. Then one day as she is combing the beach naked, a passing boat will spot her, pick her up and you will be left alone on the island.

I hate when that happens.

 

Is that a Pence or a 2 Pence?

 

Okay, fine. No coins for you buddy. Have you a sufficiently attractive substitute? ---OR--- Put another way, trapped on an island with Ginger or with Mary Ann which would you pick? Or assuming Mrs. Howell is the only one who knows how to cook, consider her an option as well.

 

I'll go with Ginger. She wasn't too bright - she'd probably stick with me longer.

 

Tough one. Particularly tough for me since I always had a thing for both redheads and librarian type girls. So, I would choose Mary Ann since she would have the highest chance of knowing how to cook and maybe know how to butcher a wild hog, (and no that is not a euphemism, sounds like one though).

As for coins, I would hate to damage my favorite coins, so I would choose 9 large silver coins for water disinfectant, and one large gold piece in case I needed to barter. I know, I am cheating the intent of the game.
