Hey there, I’m Stanley, a coin collector from Canada, and I happen to have a time machine. Yes, you heard that right. And no, I’m not a nutcase. Anyway, I want to share with you my recent adventure in Lesotho, a small country in Southern Africa that not many people know about.
So, I decided to take my time machine back to 1972 because that’s when Lesotho was transitioning from a British protectorate to an independent state. I figured that was a good time to snag some collectible coins that would be worth a pretty penny in the future.
Once I arrived in Lesotho, I saw some tall women walking around with puzzled expressions on their faces. They looked at me like I was some kind of alien or something. I guess my clothing and mannerisms must have looked pretty strange to them. But hey, I’m used to that sort of reaction.

I landed in the capital city of Maseru, an unusual kind of place. The city is situated in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. Lesotho is landlocked, so the only way to get there is by crossing the border from South Africa.
As I was walking around Maseru, I ran into some older guys who were giving me the side-eye. They were small and wiry, with weathered faces and tattered clothing. They looked like they had been through a lot in their lives. But despite their gruff exterior, they turned out to be pretty friendly once I started talking to them.
Now, the trick to getting collectible coins in a foreign country is to get the locals on your side. So, I decided to help out some young women in the town by carrying their baskets and helping them with their chores. They were surprised at first, but once they saw that I wasn’t some kind of creep, they warmed up to me.

I explained to them about the coins I was looking for, and they seemed genuinely interested. I even showed them a few examples of what I was looking for, and they were amazed by the intricate designs and historical significance of the coins. They ended up giving me a few coins as a token of their appreciation.
After spending a few days in Lesotho, I decided to head back to the present day. The return trip was uneventful, thankfully. Now, as for those Lesotho collectible coins, I haven’t decided what to do with them yet. I’m not sure if I want to sell them on eBay or keep them for myself.
