I've been pondering what coin to share for today - Ash Wednesdeay - the start of the Holy season of Lent. 40 days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving (giving for the poor). I recently covered a Widow's Mite which I thought might be good for giving. But I thought I would instead go with this one from further back in my collection. A canonisation medallion for Mother Teresa. She, perhaps better than most, comes to mind as someone who dedicated her life to those three pillars of Lent: https://coinofnote.com/mother-teresa-canonisation-medallion/

A very happy #Shrove Tuesday to everyone. #Pancake Day, the day before #Lent starts.

We just ate ours, but apparently in Guernsey, you can run with them! (I haven't had much success running this year, I think it's best to sit down and eat them!)

But, for fans of Quirky British Traditions - here is: Pancake Racing, coin edition!

Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate. This year is the year of the horse. So, I had a look through my horse coins and couldn't go past the time I had to colour in a horse on a coin! From #Ancient #Rome: https://coinofnote.com/360-a-d-rome-ae-3-fel-temp-reparatio/

Happy Valentine's Day from Coin of Note, to you!

There are many coins which celebrate love and valentines day - most of which are non-circulating, collector silver coins. Instead, I've gone with a "trinket" piece, literally, a token of love :)

Spend time with those you love, rather than just money today :)

Happy 60th anniversary of Changeover Day (Australia). 🎵🎶In come the dollars and in come the cents
to replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence.🎶🎵

Here's a piece I wrote on one of the last Australian pennies, saved as a keyring: https://coinofnote.com/1963-australian-penny-keyring/

Here's a blog Michelle J Morgan wrote on the song: https://michellejmorgan.com.au/blog/on-the-14th-of-february-1966/

And here's the Royal Australian Mint's article on today, with description of the coin design released this year to commemorate it: https://www.ramint.gov.au/about-us/whats-new/2026-sixty-years-australian-decimal-currency

I just shared currency's post of the Uzbekistan Soʻm featuring an image of the 10 Soʻm coin and linking to the Wikipedia article about the currency. I wrote a post about that coin on my blog awhile back: https://coinofnote.com/2001-uzbekistan-10-so%ca%bbm/

If you read the Wikipedia article, did I miss anything important I should cover on a future post about Uzbekistan currency?
