Two Chests of Coins

I watched a video by Joe Ide and his object was a 500 year old samurai sword.

My objects are two boxes full of coins. The coins are from when my parents were teenagers, and had just met. I got the boxs two years ago when I traveled to France, the place my parents grew up. These coins are very old, from the 1950s, and from all around the world. My grandmother grew up in Germany before moving back to where she was born, France, so there is one full box of German Pfennig coins. There are also Euros, a coin made of aluminum, and lots of old coins. These coins came from all around the world, and ended up in my bedroom. When my parents were kids, these coins were just regular coins, but now they are old, rare coins, that are special to me.
