Visiting gifts question

They can be found, Jock, but only from collectors/dealers, and they're worth far more than the dollar they were originally worth. The value fluctuates somewhat with the price of silver, the condition of the coin, its mint, etc., but it's fair to say that a silver dollar is worth at least $20.

Coins are a great idea. The Royal Canadian Mint has been a great source of special gifts for me over the years. The RCM leads the industry in special coins.

Americans can find similar gift ideas and commemorative $1 coins along with other specials at:

I think the coin idea is brilliant.

I collect rocks from places I've been, and was given a small piece of green quartz on a visit to Georgia - quartz being the State Stone, and the green variety being found in Georgia.
Not the thing for everyone, but I was, and am, quite happy with it. (It lasted longer than the pecan pie, which was good too :-)
