Even though I posted a camera yesterday, I didn’t intend to use that for the letter C. When I was photographing the Big Nickel the other day I remembered my coin collection when I was little. I found it still tucked away in my childhood toy-box and thought it would be fun to take a picture of it with my new light box. The photo ended up more sterile than I would have hoped, but going through that box certainly brought back a lot of memories. A lot of these coins came from my dad when he travelled the world, I think some came from memere, and others from friends and relatives. The picture I took has one of every coin, though I have many doubles as well. How many can you identify?

I did a quick look online as some current currency values out of curiosity to see how much some of these were worth. Many of them were worth less than 1/10th of a cent today.
