Matt Ryan’s Search For Another Teammate With A Coin Collection Continues

Of the main storylines in the Atlanta Falcons season none is more apparent than Matt Ryan’s search for another teammate with a coin collection. 

Ryan has been described as grabbing rookies and new free agent acquisitions and shows them his coin album with a slotted coin display including peel-n-seal adhesive covers in search of someone, anyone, he can share his love of coins with.

“I remember when I met Matt,” recalled Julio Jones, “he pulled me aside in the locker room and showed me his 1934 Steel Pennies held inside his vinyl 20-pocket thumb cut page binder.”  

This year Ryan brought the team together to talk about the season and in-turn also showed them his Gardall Compact Utility Safe with 1.16 Cubic Feet of Storage kept in his locker that he highly prefers over the Gardall 2-Hour Fire Safe with 2.22 Cubic Feet of Storage because it’s “just more compact.” Ryan went to open the safe, revealing a Wooden Presentation Box – America 1 oz Silver Eagle Series that contained a 3 coin Wooden Presentation Box – Falcon series with a mahogany finish which then contained  a 3×4 Velour drawstring pouch (burgundy, 1998 edition) which then contained Quadrum Intercept Snaplock Holder w/Black Gasket – 38 mm which then contained 1913 Liberty Head Nickel. 

“Matt is really into his coins,” said Falcons coach Dan Quinn, “[audible pause] he’s [more audible pause] really is into his coins.”

Despite his teammates not sharing the same coin passion as him, Ryan has mentioned to the team that if anyone had a rare coin to bring it in and maybe they can look at it together, as friends. “Maybe we could get a beer, hangout, or have general human contact and talk about coins,” said Ryan to the team in a post game victory speech.
