Does the Canadian Dansco include the Newfoundland coinage? I have quite a bit of the Newfie set.

Hey there friends.

Other than the 2014 Olympic Lucky Loonie, will there be any other 2014 Commemorative coins to pick up?

I have the set of 2014 coins already.... 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1 and $2..... and knowing how the mint loves to keep us collecting I'm wondering is anyone knows what else is on the horizon.

I have an almost-complete Mercury dime set.... missing only the 1916-D Holy Grail. Since I wasn't very fussy with the grade the set came together quickly and inexpensively.

I don't think I've received a 2014 coin in change yet! That's probably because 90% of my purchases are done with my check card and I don't carry around much cash.

I've never had problems sending to and receiving from other countries. I fill out the customs label as "coin collecting supplies".

No big deal. For a couple of dollars you can buy one from several aliexpress sellers.

I'm glad the Presidential dollar program is ending. There have been WAY too many coins to get each year. Hopefully they'll just mint the Native American dollars for collectors and leave it at that.

Also, they should have never started the ATB series.... should have stopped with the end of the 50 State series.

Please mint.... we're burned out with all the commemoratives.

I haven't found any 2014 coins in circulation yet. I bought the Kennedy halves off eBay but those are the only 2014 coins I have so far.

Wow, last time I posted in this thread was almost a couple years ago. Yes, I still am collecting car brochures. I have a huge collection of brochures from 1946-2014 and have been getting more from pre-World War II.

Here's some I laid out comparing how Chryslers have changed from 1924-1942.



Also here's some Chrysler Imperial Limousine brochures. 1936, 1938, 1940 & 1941. They're worth quite a bit.



It's not just Chrysler brochures I collect, all marques are in my collection.

I think it was yelled at a lot by a larger denomination coin and faded into nothingness.

Sorry I'm not much help.....

About 6 years ago on a trip to Winnipeg I brought along a stack of unwanted $1 and $2 banknotes. Nothing special or collectible, I just had a pile of them and thought I would use them. When I paid for meals the cashier looked at me funny but took them without problems.

You can never have enough state quarter sets. I have a P & D uncirculated set along with 3 circulated D mint sets. Whenever I get a state or territory quarter in change I put it aside and add to the set. If I ever get tired of gathering them at least I'll have quarters for the car wash.
