Hey there, fellow numismatists! Stanley here, a coin collector from Canada with a sweet ride – a time machine! Let me tell you about my latest adventure and how I snagged some incredible coins from East Timor in 1948 when it was still a Portuguese colony.
So, picture this. I hopped into my trusty time machine, all set to go back to the past to grab some rare coins before they became too valuable. But things didn’t go as planned. The ride was bumpier than a kangaroo on a pogo stick, and I had to endure some unexpected jolts that left me feeling like a shaken martini. James Bond would have drunk me.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally landed in the town of Baucau, located in the eastern part of East Timor. The place was a total time capsule – I felt like I was in a different world. The locals were friendly, but there was a sense of tension in the air, like a tinderbox waiting to ignite.
I had to use my usual tactic – drawing sketches of the locals and getting tips. And I have to say, it was a success. I managed to get my hands on some rare coins that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous.
But getting those coins wasn’t the end of my adventure. On my return journey, my trusty time machine decided to have a major malfunction, leaving me stranded in 1950 for what felt like an eternity. I was starting to feel like I was in a Twilight Zone episode, but I managed to stay calm and focused, like a Zen master in a hectic world.
