[What are some good items to put in a geocache?]

There is one of those 'antiques" stores in a mall just up the road from me.  The owner puts out a "anything for a dollar" table that is loaded with stuff like that.  The first time I saw it I thought "this would be a great place to buy some swag". Typically, swag doesn't have much monetary value but might be something someone thought was interesting.   Whenever I travel to another country I bring back a handful of coins and small denomination bills.   A 500 Zambian Kwacha bill is worth about 10 cents US, but not many get the opportunity to obtain one.  I brought back a fairly large stack of them when I went there in 2008.  

Great, then I shall dig some out. I often buy ‘dealer lots’ of vintage jewellery, and they have all sorts of interesting unrelated things rattling around in the bottom (including obsolete live ammo, and once, memorably, a human wisdom tooth. Don’t worry, I won’t use them!). I’ll put a few in some ziplocks and make sure I always have a few in my pocket.

Have just started geocaching (after talking about it for ages!) as a way of adding interest to our dog walks. 

I’m in the antiques business, so I acquire all sorts of little random items that I think might make interesting swag, such as antique buttons, old coins, and small commemorative medals. Not much value, but interesting and often beautiful (and not badly affected by moisture). Would items like that be something people would be pleased to find?
