Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to share an exciting new idea with you all. As avid coin collectors, we know that each coin tells a unique story and offers a glimpse into different cultures and histories. To add a bit of fun and spontaneity to our hobby, I propose an exchange where we send each other random coins from our collections.

 

Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick a coin from your collection at random. Don’t worry about its value or rarity—this exchange is all about the surprise and joy of discovering something new.
  2. Send your random coin to a fellow collector, and in return, they will send you a random coin from their collection.

 

This exchange is a fantastic way to diversify our collections and experience the thrill of unexpected discoveries. Each coin we receive will be a delightful surprise, potentially introducing us to new countries, eras, or designs that we may not have encountered before.

 

To get started, simply send me  message if you're interested in participating. Once you give me your mailing address I will send to you a random coin and when you receive it I'll expect from you a reply with a random coin. Also I will include some others mailing addresses who will approve to spread their addresses which you can exchange random coins with them.

 

Remember, the goal of this exchange is to enjoy the element of surprise and connect with other collectors around the world. Let’s embrace the adventure and excitement of random coin collecting together. I can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for all of us!

 

Happy collecting!

hello, i really like your idea.

But your idea isn't new, it remembers to the concept of our “holiday gift exchange”.

Please do a search for this topic, use some results and participate in a possible next edition.

I'm ready to try this adventure and i want to suggest:"One or more coins, value 2-5€, simple letter, enjoy or forget."

I guess I would be interested to participate since I collect kinda everything.

Postal services will love the idea! 

There is already something similar for Christmas, and there were categories, cheap coins, silver coins,..  to guarantee some fairness.

The idea is very nice, but I stopped after a few years due to the postage costs: too much for a single coin.

Maybe it may work for bunch of coins

I agree.  It cost 2euro 20 cent to post and most likely you will get something you don't need or collect.  It is a better idea to post a surprise parcel up to 75 gsm When someone receives it thay post the same weight back. It costs the same for me in Ireland.  I would be into this idea. There are better chances of getting a good surprise then! What do you think? Bren

by 75 gsm you mean 1KG, correct?

No. I mean under 100 grams.

Over 100 grams is super expensive here.
