Well something I tend to do is keep new or rare coins in a tin I've got. Now we're 25 into 2021 and I've already got me a 2021 $2 coin. I never I'd come across one this early.

I used to do that at the back seat of the bus lol. The seats could easily be removed and you'd see coins there fallen out of peoples back pockets.

Wouldn't be nice to stumble across an old barn and find a 1930 Cadillac V-16 Sport Phaeton with a hand full of proof pennies

When growing up my father, who was an avid coin collector, often spoke about the fabled 1930's penny.

Just googled it - "An Australian 1930 proof penny, acknowledged as the most valuable copper coin of the modern era in the world, is being offered for sale with a price tag of $2 million."

Rare 1930 proof penny up for sale

I've looked after it the 1 thing lol, case is a trimmer

So does anyone here collect anything?

I actually used to collect watches. I have particular taste in watches though. They MUST be Swiss made. I will not accept anything else. Also, they MUST be analogue (not digital, I refuse to by any of that smart watch b/s), and they MUST be NUMBERED 1-12 on the hour hand. I will not accept the watches that just had dots on the hours, or had roman numerals...no... NUMBERED 1-12.

No rubber/silicon bands either. Only leather or metallic.

Anyway... watches were too expensive to keep up with as I wouldn't even look at something under $200, so I stopped my collection at 7, which includes 3 military watches.

Now I'm onto my next thing, die-cast model cars.

Again, detail is important to me, so Match Box or Hot Wheels cars don't even get a mention. The cars MUST be replicas of real cars, not the fake space-aged shit. I will not even bother touching something if the lights are simply painted on. I want them to be at the very minimum plastic transparent lights (clear for the front lights, transparent red for the rear lights).

If the model is made of plastic, LOL, no chance. Metal only.

At the moment I have 5 cars from the Fast & Furious franchise, and also a few other American v8 cars - Camaro SS both 67 and 2015, Shelby Cobra, Nova SS 1969 - paint-job is identical to the image below (it looks red but is actually hot pink).

I also have a 2012 Bulldogs Toyota FJ Cruiser and 2013 Bulldogs Toyota Rav 4.

On my list, I am also after a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, Ford Raptor, Toyota Tundra (all 3 duel cab) and a Pagani Zonda Roadster.

Once I get all those 4, my life will once again have no meaning. Then I'll need a new hobby

Fuck are you that bored...Please let the footy start...
