2025/12/19

“Hello and welcome to a very special Coin Story Christmas Edition. Today, we’re not talking about shiny gold sovereigns or silver crowns. No, today we’ve got something humbler, something made of copper — but with a story that may just be the most Christmassy tale of them all. This is the Birmingham Workhouse token, dated 1813. Value: three pence. And oh yes, every coin has a story to tell — but this one… comes with carols, ghosts, and just a little Dickens.”Our Sponsors Fondo

In the land of Stable-earth, they were forged to control all others. One Coin to rule them all, One Coin to find them, One Coin to bring them all… and in the darkness bind them. But what if that story isn’t just fantasy anymore? What if there’s a new kind of ring — not made of gold, but of code. Not wielded by wizards or kings… but by coders, central bankers, and crypto entrepreneurs. This ring doesn’t make you invisible — it makes your money unstoppable. It doesn’t sit on your finger. It sits in

Here in Coin Story, we know the truth: even the smallest silver coin can hold a tale bigger than the Grinch’s ego after his heart grew three sizes. So grab a seat, warm your cocoa, and settle in—because, as Tiny Tim wisely proclaimed: “Merry Christmas to us all, and to all a good night!” (Or good morning… or good commute… depending on when you’re listening. We’re flexible.) Tonight’s story shines brighter than Rudolph during a rolling blackout. Let’s begin… Our Sponsors Fondo Coffee fondocoffee.org

Breaking news. Morgan Stanley has decided that maybe gold is not just for doomsday preppers and your uncle who has been stacking since the Nixon administration. They just announced a 20 percent gold portfolio allocation. Twenty percent. That is the kind of number that says “we are suddenly really into shiny rocks.” And why didn’t they tell us this when gold was $1700 instead of $4000?

Welcome back to Coin Story, where every coin has a story to tell. Today, we’re heading to a land so beautiful, so green, so full of life, it’s basically the world’s happiest country—Costa Rica! Costa Rica is like nature’s theme park: volcanoes puffing smoke into the clouds, beaches on two oceans, rainforests so thick you’d think Tarzan might swing by at any moment, and monkeys who are just as curious about you as you are about them. This little country makes up only about 0.03% of the Earth’s

2025/11/12

We’re talking coffee tokens—little pieces of metal that once meant the difference between your morning brew and a morning meltdown. Now, these aren’t Starbucks gift cards. No fancy QR codes, no “buy nine, get one free.” These are solid, beautiful, and in some cases, slightly dented tokens that tell the tale of the coffee trade in Central America. So, grab your mug, put on your imaginary barista apron, and let’s dive in. #history #coffee #token #costarica #guatemala

It’s a treasure trove — literally — sitting right beneath the Plaza de la Cultura. We’ll travel from the glittering artistry of the Pre-Columbian gold rooms, through the hammered silver coins of the Spanish Conquest, into the vibrant designs of modern Costa Rican paper money, and finally… well… I’m going to go on a small rant about how gorgeous their money is compared to ours

Welcome to the Halloween edition of Coin Story, where every coin has a story to tell… and tonight’s coins may just have a curse.

The Coin Story Podcast ·

2025/10/08

The beer selected for this episode is called Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Why this beer? It’s a very old, traditional German style of beer. This style is not that well known (just like the Thirty Years’ War). A lot of the Thirty Years’ war involved burning German towns and villages, so I thought that this beer style was quite appropriate! Rauchbier, which literally translates to “smoked beer” in German, gets its distinct campfire-like flavor from drying malt in a kiln fueled most commonly by

Today’s tale features a medal that says, “Thank you, science… now let’s never do that again.” We’re going back to 1723 France, a time when wigs were large, hygiene was small, and plagues were a thing. Yes, folks – today’s guest of honor is the 1723 Bronze Marseille “End of the Plague” Medal, designed by the legendary Duvivier. This medal is basically the 18th-century equivalent of a “We Survived 2020” T-shirt — except heavier, classier, and without any references to sourdough.
