    which one would you be? I think this might be interesting. This might have been discussed or posted before, but might need some revival. Sorry if it has been discussed a lot, and I haven't seen it. Well anyways, I'd be a nice proof coin. Can't decide which one though. Will have to think on it deeper. Hope this turns out to be an interesting thread.

    I would rather be a dollar bill, so I could be in a stripper's garter

    Who says you can't put a coin there?

    Ask me that in a couple of years when the Canadian mint makes that million dollar gold coin and I'll have an answer for you. :D

    If I was a coin, I'D like to be the 1935 Peace dollar in a capital mint set holder.

    You wouldn't want to be a coin - you might get yourself in a metal refinery one day!

    I'll go along with that. Regardless of a coin's value to some it is just a piece of metal to others. If stolen it may be put into circulation or as noted, refinery.
    As to a bill put where indicated, remember it could acquire VD and have to be distroyed.
    I'll stick to me being me.

    Well, I know what I would be, not what I'd like to be: a $2. People forget about me, but when they see me again, they're excited. :D

    It would be cool though to have been a morgan dollar in the west in the 1800's...but then coins are metal and many get melted.

    Yeah, I like being me. :eek:dd: :eat:

    Well, I think some acquaintances see me as a bit odd, so being an odd denomination token, such as some 87 1/2 cent ones that I have would be fitting.

    I would choose an "Exploder" token if I were to choose though, as I shot fireworks professionally for over 30 years and still enjoy blowing things up. My wife however, would probably think that it referred to flatulence.

    Cool answer but I would rather be a Franklin, not the coin, think of how that stripper would look like.

    I think that I would like to be the oldest & most beat up & dingy lincoln cent you have ever seen...
    I might not look like much; but you could definitely tell that I had been around for a long time; been a lot of different places & seen a WHOLE bunch of interesting things...
