I don't have a link to the above coin, but looking at this last page, I realise I've missed seeing a lot of great coins.

Not sure why I haven't followed this thread, but I've gone back to page one to catch up. Got to page six before the kids got up. Will eventually catch up! 

So if you start getting likes from posts months old, it's just me 🙂
