Although we have been primarily an ancient coin specialist for the past nearly 20 years, Forum is moving in a new direction. We will be focusing on game money. That includes currency from games like Monopoly and Life, and gold foiled chocolate coins like those used on Hanukah. The possibilities are endless! We hope you agree this is an exciting new change and change your hobby focus along with us. Thanks, Joe Sermarini

I have some ex Hershey collection issues by the renowned Renaissance engraver Lirpo Fola if you are interested.

I'm willing to bet there is a market for vintage Monopoly money.

Is this an April Fools' Announcement or so

from the office of FORVM president ?

It is April 1 isn't it?

I'm in. I love those chocolate coins.

Sticking to the topic, should we handle both silver foiled chocolate coins, or only gold foiled. Your opinion matters!

Sam · « **Reply #10 on:** April 02, 2016, 07:14:49 pm »

By the way Assyrian , Chaldean and Syriac people celebrate the new year in April 1. Now it is year 6766.

The yummier

I am so very disappointed that your comment seems to suggest that we might eat our treasured collections.

Hmmm. A delicious problem. I think both silver and gold should be offered as it demonstrates that we cater to the tastes of all collectors.

The horror. All the effort in attribution, and all anyone can think of is instant gratification. I may have to rethink my plans and stay with ancient coins.

Down with chocolate … respectfully

Alexander III , the great lifetime issue caramel Drachm.

Combine the best of both worlds, dip the ancients in chocolate, preferably Godiva or Lindt milk chocolate.

So , are we throwing our references and books and coin cabinets and buy new refrigerators or NOT ?

I think you should focus on PEEPS they last forever and never degrade.

Joe Sermarini · « **Reply #21 on:** April 02, 2016, 10:45:55 pm »

Peeps is the final straw. It is clear nobody shares my vision. I am forced to abandon my dream and return to ancients. Just forget I ever said anything...

Hear hear

Sam · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2016, 07:25:13 am »

Good morning ,

Joe , I give you A+.

I think some members were really fooled up.

Joe Sermarini · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2016, 07:27:01 am »

Fooled by what?
