Dear AG,
Thank you very much for your thoughts about my blog.

With its creaking floors and old wooden showcases, the coin cabinet has a charm of its own. You think you can feel the breath of history. The coins and medals are all beautiful to look at. To hold once such a testimony from the past in your hands must be very special. It's strange, that the Numismatic Collection is rarely visited. Maybe it's because of the unfavorable location inside the museum. But probably only true coin lovers will find their way here.

Especially in uncertain times, gold and silver coins are coming into focus as crisis currency. The Münze Österreich (Austrian Mint) reports record sales. I once read that the US Air Force gives its pilots gold coins to have exchange values in case of a crash on foreign territory. Gold is accepted everywhere and always.

I'm trying to make the best of the present circumstances. Unfortunately, the Corona-related restrictions are slowly increasing again. Let us hope for the best in the future.

Affectionately,
Anna
