Probably others as well, my father was a collector but I never took interest.

I guess the dimes will get loaded into 12 gauge shells then. You can do a lot of damage with $2 worth of dimes! I have nothing clever to put here.

Bad choice cause the chock end of the barrel is smaller than a dime when it comes down the barrel.................kaboom I will look after all the Krugerrands that are in the collection, especially the ones that look like brass.

Actually I think it says "$5 Note" on it. I have nothing clever to put here.
