lucky coins
Coins are interesting and pleasing. Sometimes I'll collect coins.
Was surprised to read that Eisenhower had "lucky coins" during World War II. Probably varied at times, have read that his lucky coins included a US silver dollar, an English 5 guinea gold piece, a French franc, a US 1943 zinc penny, an English 1943 farthing, an English 1932 half crown, a French 1941 50 centimes, and five Arabic coins.
Was sorry to hear the US was discontinuing the presidential dollar coins. Thought they were nice, and they were good gift coins for kids.
Just thinking about coins....
