+ I have finally done it, I’ve found a way to hunt coins in the
+ Netherlands without purchasing bankrolls or going to a casino!
+ There is a Spar on the campus of my ex-university. This Spar is
+ special because it has something that I’ve never before seen in this
+ cashless dystopia — a self-checkout machine that accepts cash!
+ <br /><br />
+ I don’t know how it didn’t come to my mind earlier but by creating a
+ false purchase of high value (maybe €500 for example) and then
+ dumping all your coins in the coin funnel you can then cancel the
+ purchase and get your coins back, except it’s not the same coins,
+ but different coins of the same denominations!
+ <br /><br />
+ What this in effect means is that I can go and just put my coins in
+ this self-checkout machine and then cancel my order in a cycle while
+ getting new coins every cycle. I did this for the first time today
+ and got 3 new finds! Two of the finds were regular issue 20c coins,
+ Germany 2008 (F) and France 2020. The other find was a
+ commemorative issue in the form of the Dutch Erasmus Programme coin!

+ So today was mail day, and it was another American coin. I got a
+ bicentennial Ike Dollar; it’s certainly one of the biggest coins
+ I’ve ever held (maybe the biggest ever). It has no mintmark, so
+ it’s a Philadelphia dollar. This also means that once I get the
+ version with the Denver mintmark I’ll have all circulating
+ bicentennial coins from the USA!
+ <br /><br />
+ I haven’t gotten any new euro-coins yet, but there’s a chance I’ll
+ be heading to Croatia next week so I’m hoping to get some new coins
+ there, or to maybe even do a vending machine hunt!

+ Euro Coins discord server
+ </a>
+ today; he was passing through Rotterdam. He was generous enough to
+ give me a total of €275 worth of 2002 banknotes. Of these notes, 16
+ were new for the collection! They are as follows: €5 Germany (JCT),
+ €5 Netherlands (WD), €5 Portugal (JCT), €5 Spain (JCT), €10 Germany
+ (JCT), €10 Greece (JCT), €10 Ireland (WD), €10 Ireland (JCT), €20

+ Today I did what is likely my final vending-machine hunt of my trip
+ in the United States. During this hunt I got 3 new quarters, one
+ state quarter, one “America the Beautiful” quarter, and most
+ excitedly, one territory quarter! My 3 new quarters are (in order
+ of mint year): South Carolina (P), Puerto Rico (D), and Great Basin
+ (P).

+ I did another vending-machine hunt at Miami-Dade College again

+ I passed by Dolphin Mall in Miami today; hunted some more vending
+ machines. Didn’t get too many finds but still a good couple. Got 5
+ new “America the Beautiful” quarters and a new “American Women”
+ quarter. The new “America the Beautiful” quarters were: Denali (D),
+ Ellis Island (D), Mount Rushmore (P), River of No Return (P), and
+ Shenandoah (D). The new “American Women” quarter was Edith
+ Kanaka‘ole (P).

+ 11 new quarters were added to the collection today from a short
+ vending-machine hunt at Miami-Dade College. Of the 11 quarters, 9
+ were state quarters and 2 were “America the Beautiful” quarters.
+ The state quarters are: Colorado (P), Hawaii (D), Minnesota (P),
+ Missouri (D), Montana (P), Nevada (P), New Jersey (D), New Mexico
+ (P), and South Carolina (D). The “America the Beautiful” quarters
+ are: Denali (P) and Apostle Islands (D).

+ I also passed by a currency-exchange office and managed to exchange
+ my €500 in cash for my first ever €500 bill. It costed my new
+ French €200 Europa note that I got from another currency-exchange,
+ but getting €500’s is a lot harder so it’s worth it. The €500 bill
+ is German with the signature of Wim Duisenberg.

+ I did another vending-machine hunt today. It was a small hunt and
+ got me 7 new quarters. I got the 6 state quarters of: Maine (D
+ &amp; P), Michigan (P), Mississippi (D), Texas (D), and Washington
+ (P). I also got the “America the Beautiful” quarter of Weir Farm

+ In bigger news, my coins from my swap with Jon have arrived. He
+ included all sorts of extra goodies but they aren’t relevant to this
+ site so I won’t be listing them here. The swap got me 11 new 1- and
+ 2-eurocent coins, a new American bicentennial coin, a new American
+ Lincoln commemorative penny, 3 new NIFC Dollar coins, 3 new state
+ quarters, 1 new district quarter, and finally 1 new “Westward
+ Journey” nickel.
+ <br /><br />
+ The eurocents included were: Germany 1c (2009-D &amp; 2013-A),
+ Germany 2c (2003-G, 2006-A, &amp; 2006-D), Spain 1c (2002), Spain 2c
+ (2009 &amp; 2015), and France 1c (2007, 2010, &amp; 2016). The
+ American bicentennial coin was a half-dollar from Denver. The
+ Lincoln penny was the “Birth and Early Childhood” penny from
+ Philadelphia. One of the NIFC dollars was a native-american
+ space-program dollar from Denver and the other two were presidential
+ dollars: Chester Arthur (P) and John F. Kennedy (D). The state
+ quarters were California (D), Pennsylvania (P), and Rhode Island
+ (D). The dictrict quarter was my second district quarter so far, a
+ Puerto Rico (P). Finally, the “Westward Journey” nickel was a Bison
+ (D).

<h2>Start of Changelog</h2>
<p>
This is the start of the sites changelog. The site has been around
since the 11th of February 2023, and this collection began around
April of 2022, so theres a lot of “history” here that won’t end up
- documented. If you really care for some reason, you can check the
- git-log of the site on the git repository. From now on I’ll be
- documenting all my new finds here both so I can look back on it in
- the future for fun, and incase anyone finds anything here
- interesting. I suppose it makes the site a bit more human.
