Coin collectors?

[THE PILGRIM]

The Previous King of Thailand-
Bhumibol Adulyadej[c] (5 December 1927 – 13 October 2016), titled Rama IX, was King of Thailand from 1946 until his death in 2016. His reign of 70 years and 126 days is the longest of any Thai monarch, the longest on record of any independent Asian sovereign, and the third-longest of any sovereign state.[7][8]
He was the basis of one of the Greatest Trivia Questions on the Planet!
Where was the King of Thailand Born?
Lots of Thais didn’t know the answer!
They would say - Bangkok? Chiang Mai? Pattya Beach?
No, actually he was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts!
Here he is on a 10 Baht Note.

One of the people I see each week at our Thursday morning breakfast get together has collected many coins over the years. The amount has to be in the multi thousands.


Of course he got this dubious honor because he worked for years as a toll collector on the NY state Thruway.

Can you still get them at the bank? I think I have a few in my golf bag that were ball markers

Yes, the Sacawajea and Presidential dollar coins are available at banks, but it's sort of a catch as catch can situation. It depends on what they get from the mint and what they get from depositors. I sometimes go up to the next town and just make a sweep through all the bank branches there.

It used to be a running gag I had with the manager of the local VFW lounge. I would have supper there on a Friday night and pay for everything plus tips with Golden Dollars. Then the VFW would take the Golden Dollars back to the bank as a deposit. Then I would go to the bank and take out Golden Dollars. Then the next Friday night I would go to the VFW lounge and start the process all over again.
