The rotating part is unnecessary, but the coin display is really good!

Thanks. Finally, another person who collects coins :-) What's the oldest coin you have?
Reply 9 years ago on Introduction
A Roman coin from A.D. 70. I'm not sure what it's called. My favorite is a 2-cent coin from 1858. What about you?
By the way, I'm also a homeschooled Christian. :-)

Whoa! I don't have anything close to that. My oldest coin is a 1862 indian head penny. My favorite coin I have is a Jamestown 400th Anniversary uncirculated silver doller. What's your most valuable coin? Nice to see another homeschooled Christian :-)

My most valuable coin is probably one of my Morgan silver dollars. However, I have a medallion that's 3 1/2 oz. gold. That's obviously much more valuable. (The bank holds on to it) By the way, what belt are you?

Red belt with tape. One rank away from black belt.

Cool! I'm quite familiar with taekwondo. (I've lived in Korea for the past 3 years) Ironically, I was always too busy with school to actually learn. :(

Nice! What is that other knex project that uses most of your pieces? :D

Thanks. He, he, he :) It's a secret. Let's just say it's kind of like a cross between a roller coaster and a ball machine.
