Best of FPF: Pirate Treasure

Annie posted in their Bristol Forum, “Does anyone have coins or dollars hanging around from world travels that are taking up space & no longer needed? I am collecting some for a ‘Pirate’s Treasure Hunt’ for a little girl’s 7th birthday party.”

In typical FPF fashion, Annie’s neighbors delivered. They followed up to celebrate the Pirate Booty that ensued. We thought it was well worth a share:

“Thank you to everyone who shared their no-longer-needed coins & currencies from travels & collections! This treasure trove will have at least 36 countries represented. What a fun trip around the world – from Australia to Zimbabwe and from the Faroe Islands to Fiji! Burma to Belgium and Ghana to Turkey. There are yak, dolphins, beavers, and elephants. Famous buildings include the pyramids of Egypt and a Vietnamese factory featuring its economic value. The art on each coin is truly inspiring. Some treasures date back to the 1930s, offering bits of history from countries that no longer create their own coins, or no longer even exist!

For the little girl turning 7, this is likely going to be a marvel of fun and educational potential.
Again, YAY for our FPF and everyone jumping into sharing from your travels.”

(And in case you’re interested, Annie’s collection is now complete, but maybe your own global coins would be appreciated by another Pirate enthusiast in your town!)
