Coin Rich. Cash Poor. A Sticker for Anyone Who Checks Their Change

You’re at the café counter. The coffee is $5.50. You have the right coins in your hand. Then you notice one of them is a coloured $2, and suddenly you’re paying by card.

Every collector has done it. Our NumiStickers Coin Rich. Cash Poor. sticker sums it up in four words. It costs $3.99.

The joke every collector gets

Coin collectors have a strange relationship with money. We’ll happily spend an afternoon sorting $1 coins by mintmark. But hand over a coin that might be worth keeping? Not a chance.

So the collection grows, and the wallet stays empty. In theory, the coins are worth something. In practice, you still can’t buy a coffee.

That’s the feeling behind this design. It’s short, it’s honest, and every collector I’ve shown it to has laughed in recognition.

Our own design

This is part of NumiStickers, our own sticker range for coin collectors. It was one of the first designs on the shortlist, and I’m pleased with how it turned out.

The details:

  • 6.5cm round vinyl sticker
  • Bold green lettering above black outlined type, on a white background
  • Made in Tasmania

The look is clean and simple. The green stands out, so it reads well from a distance, whether on a laptop lid or a coin tin.

Where it works

Stick it on anything you take to a coin fair or use every day:

  • A coin tin or folder
  • A laptop or tablet
  • A phone case

It also makes a good small gift. Coin collectors can be hard to buy for, and this is one item they won’t already have.

Pair it up

If you like this one, you might also like our Numismatist Definition sticker. It takes a different approach to the same joke, in the style of a dictionary entry. The two sit well side by side.

You’ll find the full range in our stickers collection.

Easy to add to any order

A sticker is a simple add-on to your next coin order. Most orders ship the same day, and every pick and pack is filmed. Click and collect is available from our Hawthorn office in Melbourne.
