A Long Time Traveller

Yesterday I was out and about to buy a Root Beer next door at the service station when I noticed this dollar coin's year of minting. In around 1984-5 the Australian one dollar coin was first minted; and I was in primary school. And this coin has most probably seen a lot of this country, a lot of pockets, wallets, purses, handbags, streets, gutters, lounges, shoes, moneyboxes and other hiding places in that time...

Amazing how long this one's been around.
As a coin collector myself, I often hold coins and wonder how much they have seen during their life span.

Interesting thoughts about the coin. At first I saw your pic and thought 'it's just a coin' - now I'm looking at it in a completely different way :)

@digitalrn @alia_801 thank you guys for your wonderful comments. I love looking at the years that coins were minted... it makes me wonder where they've been and how long it took for them to get to me. :)
