<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26596412, member: 10461&quot;]Every December at work (I work in a smallish boutique hotel), I give an inexpensive coin gift to all of my coworkers.&nbsp; One year it was Churchill crowns, another year it was Mercury dimes, last year I think it was G-VG Standing Liberty quarters with full dates (couldn&#039;t afford to do that now, with silver prices!).&nbsp; This year I opted for ancient Chinese cash coins, because I could buy a bulk lot of them without breaking the bank.&nbsp; I try for something that the average non-collector might find interesting, and I think these fit the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the coin, everybody got a Hershey bar and a scratch-off lottery ticket, just to make it more fun.&nbsp; For a total budget of around $110 (coins + chocolate + lotto), I got a gift for <i>everyone </i>in the hotel- not just my closest coworkers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There were 27 people on my list.&nbsp; Only 18 people got coins this year.&nbsp; The housekeepers- most of whom I do not know and have never met, since we work opposite shifts- just got the chocolate bar and the lotto ticket.&nbsp; (They got a more basic letter, in English and Spanish, which did not mention coins.)&nbsp; All of the managers, front desk, bartenders, engineer, and breakfast ladies got coins plus chocolate plus lotto.</p><p><br /></p><p>I printed up a nice informational insert for the flips.&nbsp; Inside the flips there is also an old handwritten dealer envelope (not shown in the pics) which includes the catalog number and emperor name for each coin.&nbsp; The lot I bought was fully attributed by emperor and Schjoth number, which was cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think they&#039;ll like &#039;em?&nbsp; I hope so.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694815[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
