You know, my grandmother has a bag full of those silver coins; my brother had a chain and a bracelet made from a few of them, and he also has other coins from Cuba—which are a bit larger—that are silver too.

sheesh maybe you are Plunda’s #1 fan!

I don't wanna take sides in this since i love all my fans equally, but objectively 224th coin drop is hard to top 😄

but objectively 224th coin

How do you know the coin number? Or is it an internal record you keep?

It’s a day counter. To get more people into Plunda I decided I was going to give away loot for 365 days here in SN.

Plunda reminds me of old RPGs of getting stuff and storing it. Plus it’s one of the coolest applications of Lightning out there! Next to SN of course!

Oh, it’s a shame I stopped by so late... but it really cheered me up, so your effort wasn't in vain.

that's awesome. it's so cool having a huge stash of silver coins. feels like real treasure and especially when you lay them all out.

funnily enough, this coin (not this exact one, but the same type) is one of the very first silver coins i owned when i was a newbie to collecting. to this day it's one of my fav modern coins. i love the design but also it's so cool that they write on them the purity (900M means 90%) silver and the weight (5G is 5 grams) - i wish all coins had that feature 😄

Those are coins from Cuba's golden age; back then, Cuban currency was almost stronger than the US dollar.

would be interesting to try and tie in some historical blurbs like this onto the coin pages to give this sorta context in the plunda app.

reply

It would be interesting—at least a brief write-up; there are coins with interesting stories.

yeah defo, just an interesting fact or two is enough and maybe some relevant links to more info
it's one for down the road though, gotta get the loot upgrade finished first and invest time into photographing the huge backlog of new coins i have!
