Do you have a particular coin that you always carry with you?

[RogerBelmar]

Do you have a particular coin that you always carry with you? Why not share your special issue with other collectors – you might be surprised how many others have a “good luck” coin tucked away in a wallet, purse or hiding place! With the vast variety of designs and images, world and ancient coins, people are simply drawn to certain motifs – and those favorite coins may become their lucky pieces. Because they’re durable, easy to take with you wherever you go, and handy to view or touch, coins have been carried and coveted for centuries as amulets or talismans.

I do and it varies depending on what fancies me at the moment. One thing in common is that my pocket piece du jour is always in an AirTite. Some on my rotation list are:

1855 GB sovereign, 1868 Philippines 4 Pesos, 1985 struck 1/10 oz gold China vault protector, 1 oz Canada platinum Maple Leaf, 1 oz Canada gold Maple Leaf, 1889 GB crown, 1951 GB crown, 1923 Germany hyper-inflation coin (Notgeld), etc.

Here's the 1951 GB Crown with a sterling silver Icthus ring and a Shaman stone.

Here's the 1855 GB Sovereign and 1868 Filipinas 4 Pesos with a gold figurine 3-legged Money Toad

£1 coin any year, great for buying parking tickets 😜

I take a 2008 2oz kookaburra in a plastic air-tite when I go to play poker the odd time, acts as my card protector 98% and lucky charm 2%  

I bought it on a Saturday afternoon from my local coin shop, entered the poker tournament in the evening and still had it about my person in my jeans. Went on to win the tournament! 

Had a few cashes here and there, don't know if it was down to skill or the kook to be fair!

Neat little talking point when folk see it to, and a little weighty to boot

Car keys and house keys.

I hope that's a fake Engelhard sir. 😉

2005 1oz Britannia & 2013 £20 coin on rotation both toned & with the odd scratch.

I’m afraid not, but in my defence I bought it already holed.

I've carried a couple around for fun although not recently.

Mostly slave queen/freedom girl.

Momento mori is based on the original tokens people had reminding them of their mortality.

I enjoyed getting out slave queen/freedom girl from the little jeans pocket to use as a flipper to make a decision.  Go with the standard boring plan/stick with the contract/remain tied in? Or go with something daring and exciting/break the contract/open new horizons?  Quite amusing to see other peoples reaction when slave queen/freedom girl comes out.

Perhaps Gwen would be the perfect poker partner for @Paul
