Let’s be honest: you’re probably not going to check your pocket change and find a $2,000 coin. But you might. That’s the beauty of this hobby—it turns boring metal into a lottery ticket. And even if you never find the elusive floating poppy, you’ve now got a great story about the time a two-dollar coin made you feel like Indiana Jones.
So next time you pay for a sausage roll in loose change, look twice. That worn-out coin with the red paint stain could be your ticket to infamy—or at least a really good dinner. And if you do find a 2015 poppy coin, don’t call me crazy. Just send me a postcard from the Cayman Islands. You’re welcome.
Quick disclaimer: Check current market prices. I’m not a financial advisor. I’m just a guy who thinks a red flower on a coin is the most exciting thing since sliced bread.
