[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2627088, member: 56859"]Awesome :D I ran a [URL='http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=143377&whichpage=1']haiku contest/giveaway on another coin forum[/URL] not long before completely abandoning US coins for ancients. I was happily surprised by the quality of some submissions! Examples from that contest: a coin collection passed father son, father son growing cent by cent ... once in a child's hand the dime was spent on candy it rests, collected ... A round golden coin in my palm lies so heavy - the metal of kings. ... à chacun son goût to each his own. Let's collect our heart's desire (Kudos, Chrsmat. I'm not entering but thanks for the fun!)[/QUOTE]
