Hey there, my fellow coin collectors! Stanley here, the proud owner of a time machine that has taken me back in time to some of the coolest places on earth. Today, I want to tell you about my trip to Romania in 1910.
Before we start, let me give you a little bit of background on myself. I’m a blogger, a coin collector, and an eBay seller from Canada. I’m also married to the wonderful Harriet, who is my biggest supporter in all my coin-collecting and time-traveling endeavors. And just so you know, I’m feeling pretty good today, although I did have a bit of a spat with Harriet earlier.

So, back to Romania. When I first arrived, the city was bustling with activity, with people going about their daily lives. The buildings towered high, casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets. The air was crisp, and I could smell the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the streets.
To figure out exactly where I was, I asked a local shopkeeper. He pointed me towards the Palace of the Parliament, which was under construction at the time. I was amazed at the sheer size of the building, though I still didn’t know where I was in Romania.
To get my hands on some rare coins, I decided to take to the streets and play my guitar. I figured that music was a universal language, and it would be the perfect way to connect with the locals. You might be wondering what song I chose. Well, “Take on Me” by A-ha was a hit, and I thought it would be a perfect fit. It was a bit confusing for the people of 1910, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.

One lady was kind enough to give me some coins, including some good ones. She was a sweet old lady who told me about her life in Romania. It was fascinating to hear about the culture and history from someone who lived it.
Unfortunately, I had to spend all the coins I got. Why, you ask? Well, I may have gotten into a bit of trouble with the local authorities for playing music on the streets without a permit.
Sadly, my time in Romania had to come to an end and I was coinless. But, hey, at least I had the memories, and I almost got some cool old Romanian coins. My trip to get Romania collectible coins was an experience I won’t forget. It had its ups and downs, but that’s what makes it all the more memorable. I guess you could say my time in Romania was quite “coin-venient”.
