Numismatic dreams you wished were true

Here is a rather interesting question: what is a coin-related dream you once had  in your sleep that you wished was true? (Like, for example: receiving a most wanted coin, or visiting some sort of coin place.)

 

EDIT: Daydreams are now allowed as well!

 

I'll start off the thread with my dream: In my numismatic dream, I went to a massive antique mall that had a section for bins and bins of various world coins! I was picking through each bin trying to find all the types I was missing in my collection. 

 

 Unfortunately I woke up in the morning disappointed that all I experienced was all just the dream.

I hear every coin you jingle!

That is an unusual question. Truth be told, I can never remember any of my dreams. I'm not even sure if I do dream.

 

But if we allow daydreams, I had one where I was allowed to visit the Bank of England vaults, and got to sign in the illustrious visitor book which, since recent-ish times, has only allowed very notable (pun intended!) & distinguished guests. Think things like Kings, Heads of State.

Earlier guests seem more random, and indeed some people in it, we only know of their existence because they're in the book.

 

Then we visited the bullion room and they let me carry one of the keys to unlock it. Now that may not sound like much, but some of these keys are over 3 feet (~1 metre) long. I couldn't find any pictures (probably for obvious security reasons).

 

Then just got to nosey around in the artefact room, particularly at original artwork & the designs that never were. This was the highlight of my daydream. Would absolutely love to see the notes that never were.
