Coin Collection
Or, how I learned the word numismatist
Yesterday I was telling someone I was making this comic and they asked if I missed my coin collection, and I realised that I do. Did anyone reading this get rid of a collection that they miss?

Brilliant Tor. I donated a sweet wooden jigsaw puzzle of some rabbits in dresses bought for me by my aunt to the school jumble sale, and bought at the same sale a Fraggle Rock jigsaw which I brought home triumphant (I loved fraggle rock) to show my mum. Mum said “so you just swapped a really nice jigsaw for a really horrible one?”. My heart sank and every night I would go to bed and revisit this regretful episode. It was at that point the biggest regret of my life and took me many years to get over, no doubt replacing the memory with something much more regretful. I wonder what you collect now?
Haha!! Halcyon days!! I love appearing in your comics, I feel like a celeb!
I think mum still has my coin collection - it’s in a long leather box, and my favourite were always the Victorian pennies! I’m also remembering I used to collect stamps. They were super exciting because of the paintings on them. I seem to remember Australian ones being extra exciting because of the beautiful bird paintings! X
