    Howdy, I'm Rob the coin cutter. Coin cutting is most famously a rare hobo art but has been around for centuries. I first saw cut coins from a homeless traveler that passed through my town when I was younger. I was amazed at his work. He refused to teach me so I (painstakingly) taught myself. This was the very first coin I learned to cut. They are very popular at hempfests, barter fairs, etc...
    I have quite a stock of these that have been building up and I'd like to trade or sell them to someone. I also make him smokin' a doobie. If you 'd like to see more cut coins I havesome posted at myspace.com/coincutter
    Let me know if you would like one or more..... thanks.

    hi coinboy, once I used to collect world's coin, but now I've pratically given up; if interested in cuttin/carving/shaping any of them I can send it over, then we may sell a collection of worldwide carved coins (you may also find a kind of theme to follow or whatever)...this is just an idea I've just come up with, while reading your thread, in any case if you interested I've got a part of the collection to work with..
