Hello, I'm Min (Many Interesting Numismatics),

As my mutuals will know, I've been around on tumblr for a while now already, but I have decided to rebrand. My blog + account was previously named "Crust" (short for @Crustaceanhascoins). Min/Lemin Lobster is my official name from this point on. - 🍋🦞

This blog is welcoming to most, including and not limited to the lgbtqia+ community. My views on hateful/bigoted discourse are inflexible, and I do not have restraint in blocking anyone who I believe will lessen my enjoyment of the communities I am involved with.

🦞 Age Restrictions:

1. 18+ topics and themes will be discussed.

2. If you are not at least 18+, I would ask that you do not interact with those posts as I am not here to police yours or anyone's behaviour online

3. This is not a nsft/18+ blog, but themes and discussions I or others may find unsuitable for children or teens will be discussed here.

Yeah man. Reading scholarly works on a topic informs you on that topic. That's how this works.

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

Numisblr, I believe I am hooked. A vendor at the local yearly coin show has always sold a really nice array of Chinese numismatics, and his usual prices went down this past one on a couple pieces, so I decided to buy this beauty plus some other Chinese Empire coins.

The thing is, I'm such a sucker for oddly shaped numismatics, and this Xin Dynasty spade (only $20 btw) sent me down a rabbit hole... I've finally learned to discern the symbols on cash coins and the ties common ones have to certain dynasties & periods. This is ultimately a good development, but now I'm getting even more invested in Asian numismatics when I already struggle with identifying the most basic Islamic & Indian coinage. 😅

So two Australians walk into a Ljubljana coin shop….

…. and even though their child asked for them to find a 10 stotinov they instead asked for the slovenian eel coin, leading to a very confused conversation with the poor attendant!

This olm coin has been on my list for about eight years now. I’m sure you can see why- i mean look at that thing! but shipping to australia has always been nuts and i’ve never encountered it in person, so when my parents went off to europe this was line of the few things i asked them to keep an eye out for when shopping.

Despite all the miscommunications the shop attendant and owner were incredibly lovely to my parents (who speak next to no slovene) and have them his email so they have a coin hookup in europe if they need it.

[leminlobster]

Yooo, congrats!! I remember when I started collecting, I got one of these locally (thank my nowhere blue collar city for its small yet noteworthy Slovenian population).

Also, European coin hookup, you say? Sounds like more opportunities to extract all the eel coins from Europe !! >:D
