If you think about it, these CDs really big coins, are just like coins!
They come in many different designs, they all have different minted quanitites, some even come with variations, and of course they are all graded by their condition! These coins may be everywhere now, but in the future they will be expensive numistical items!

You are right. There just as much of a coin as any other token.
Hi Zac, thank you very much for the explanation. But I am unbelieveable stupid, when it comes to computers. I am afraid if I try to put a link or something, my entire Numista-thing will vanish… For me it is already an enormous miracle, that I am typing something here and you
can read it there. But thanks anyway and I always enjoy your valuable contributions to the forum.
This coin has only been made in proof since being released into circulation in Japan in October 1982 and the rest of the world a year later. There has been several variations of it since then but in the last 5 years less of them are being made due to the people switching to non physical methods.
Although I did hear the CDs predecessor the vinyl record did have have an unusual increase in use in recent decades after nearly 35 years of little use.
There were earlier proofs struck because in 1978 there was something called the Laserdisc which was much larger than the CD (and could show video) but never gained widespread use in the Americas and Europe. However it did see widespread use in Japan and Southeast Asia well into the 1990s.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

I have some of those vinyl coins. I like how they make a melodious sound. But you need a special machine for that.
I have so many of these, they all actually play music on one side which is strange, another had old photos on it.
One I played had the Rolling Stones on it, and another Prince - so maybe its Rockstar coinage?
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
