Greetings, fellow coin enthusiasts! I’m Stanley, the time-traveling coin collector, and today I’m going to share my experience of traveling back in time to Estonia in 1923.
Before I dive into the story, let me give you a brief background. I live in Canada with my lovely wife, Harriet, and I have a passion for collecting coins from all over the world. I built a time machine to travel back in time to get coins for my collection or sell them on eBay. As for my mood today, well, let’s just say Harriet and I had a little argument this morning, so I’m feeling a bit grumpy. But that’s not going to stop me from sharing my adventure with you!
Hungary rare coins for collectors and other buyers
I’ve traveled to many countries before, including Latvia and Russia, both of which have some fascinating coins in circulation. But Estonia was a new country for me. As soon as I arrived, I was surprised by the rural surroundings, the dirt roads, and the traditional wooden buildings. It was a far cry from the bustling cities I’d visited before.
In 1923, Estonia had just become an independent republic, and the country was still recovering from the aftermath of World War I. The economy was in shambles, and inflation was rampant. In fact, one Estonian mark was equivalent to one million German marks!
To get coins for my collection, I decided to do what I always do: a simple magic show in public. It’s a trick I’ve used before in other countries, and it usually works like a charm. But in Estonia, nobody seemed interested in my magic tricks. Perhaps they were too preoccupied with their own struggles to care about some foreigner’s entertainment.

After a few failed attempts, I gave up and returned to the present. Despite the disappointment, I’m grateful for the experience. It was a humbling reminder that not every trip can be a smashing success.
In conclusion, my trip to Estonia wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. But hey, that’s the name of the game when you’re a time-traveling coin collector! So, my fellow collectors, don’t let my misfortune discourage you from exploring Estonia’s coins. In fact, I encourage you to ‘Est-own ya’ own collection, and discover the unique coins this country has to offer.
