I was interested in Bill Burd's comments about producing the first coin bag with a website address.Coin bags are collectible. My collection is small in number but large in volume, filling two "Banker's Boxes." I kept one from the Chicago Coin Company because Bill is a friend. A scan is attached.

I also have a cookie tin given out by the Chicago Coin Company about ten years ago. It is about ten inches in diameter and a bit too wide for my scanner. An image is attached. I think this is appropriate for the season. So far, this is the only numismatic cookie tin in my collection.
