The last big find in the 'treasure` shops are little bags with Imitations of coins , all ready with a hole and a little loop , to be hung on one`s habdwork. I find it hilarious, since the Numads and people from former generations , did hang up those coins, mostly for keeping them as `saving system` , now we spend [a little but still spend] money to buy special `Hanging coins`. I find it also interesting to see what kind of coins the makers copy !!!! For those of you interested in METAL Beads. Take a GOOD look at the Rings of Coca Cola and Cat Food tins , You can Easily take the Ring used for opening Off the cover. and Use it as a flat bead,,, you will be surprised to see that they have variations in color and size. mirjam
