    Hey, ya'll. I was just curious what all kinds of things you guys have collected from your travels across the country. I'm mostly interested in region specific collectibles, but things you can find anywhere would be appreciated as well.

    well I used to collect regional beer's with strange names like flat tire or voodoo lager, but I cannot transport them anymore so I don't bother collecting anything but bugs on the glass

    Have a nice collection at home of coffee mugs. Get them usually where we pickup or deliver to. Guess I don't do real well in keeping them put up...use them everyday when I'm home. It started a long time ago when I delivered into a receiver and it was driver's day got a free coffee mug and lunch thought that was pretty nice. :biggrin_25525:

    Even before hubby was driving we would collect those smooshed pennies whereever we went to, so that is what he is trying to do now. You know the ones? You stick two quarters and a penny in a machine and it flattens the penny and puts an imprint on it with some kind of picture and the name of the location you are at??

    We sometimes pickup coffee mugs, shot glasses and magnets. Can't remmember any regional specific stuff we've collected, probably wouldn't have it anymore anyway. Oh yeah, we do have lisence plates..but thats only from the 7 states we've lived in.
