It's hard to relay how much fun it is to reach into the box and grab a card and random and see who and where it's from. If I could only choose one collection, this would be it.Juliann Wetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344339073916326002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-13481506019312149972012-04-14T14:00:28.019-07:002012-04-14T14:00:28.019-07:00I love the picture of your penny collection!!

I've purchased a few over the years and remember the 1st one I purchased was when I was 9 or 10 years old when I was on vacation with my family to San Francisco. The penny was imprinted with a cable car and the Golden Gate Bridge. I think I still have this penny somewhere?!?! I have other souvenir pennies from places I've visited over the years. I really need to find them all and store in one place.<br /><br />The only thing I've consistently collected over the years is postcards!Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-80904330147220469802012-04-13T03:48:17.164-07:002012-04-13T03:48:17.164-07:00Thanks for all your comments.

I saw you...I went onto my blog and what did I see? I saw your photo of your collection of souvenir pennies from everywhere! It reminded me of my penny I got squashed while I visited Liverpool, UK. I was at The Beatles House and I found a machine there that would squash my penny for 20p. So, I pulled three of them out and for 60p, I had three of these pennies done. I gave one to Mum, one to Grandma Killips and I kept one for myself. I only got three done because I didn't have anymore 20p coins with me; otherwise I would have had more done for the rest of the family.<br /><br />Now, Mum has her still, and I found mine a few years back in a purse of mine hiding from the sun, but we don't know where Grandma's is... pity, Aunty Helen would have loved to have; and I would have loved her to have it too seeing I didn't get one for her in Liverpool.<br /><br />However, I have a large collection of vinyls, books (over 1,000 in my home office alone) and over 100 dvds. I also collect coffee mugs; but they have to have a certain 'thing' about them to be added to my collection, they can't just be any type, they have to have personality, baby! I also have a large collection of journals that I write in... at the moment, I'm up No. 35 (I think) and I started writing in them in 1997 at my shrink's advice. :)Mozettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267731815392625679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457480930454799813.post-13402381555034152952012-04-11T15:44:41.794-07:002012-04-11T15:44:41.794-07:00This is a fun collection.

I don't like having a bunch of STUFF around, so I discourage collecting. The compromise is that we buy a piece of art and/or a Christmas tree ornament from each of our vacations. But no keychains or pennies or pens or snowglobes. :PKristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.com
