<p>[QUOTE=&quot;trickys, post: 369028, member: 11215&quot;]I have a few but at the top of the list is the Ike Dollar that my grand-dad gave me on the day I was born (my first coin, he gave a silver dollar to all of us grand-kids).</p><p><br /></p><p>Another is my avatar - a gold casino token from Campione (an Italian enclave) which my aunt gave me as a small boy. She travelled all over the world as part of her govt. job (I imagined her as being a female James Bond, b/c she was very secretive about her work). She would bring me coins from her travels, as she knew I liked to collect them. When I got older and the Internet was now around, I researched all the foreign coins she had given me as a boy, to figure out where they were from &amp; get an idea of all the neat places my aunt traveled. This one turned out to be an actual gold casino token. Apparently in the 50s &amp; 60s the casino in Campione issued gold casino tokens to be used at the roulette table. Thank God I treated my coins with more care than my GI Joe action figures back then <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> One day I am going to visit that casino (no way I&#039;m spending my token though!) :kewl:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
