Description

This group is for anyone who collects mint or candy tins. You know, the Altoid mint tins, and now hundreds more have copied the concept.

Starbucks, Target, even Victoria's Secret now has mint tins for sale. After a while, it gets kind of addictive. You will never ever walk into a 7-11 or any convenience store without scoping out the mint/gum/candy section looking for mint tins.

Did you know that Altoids came out with a Ginger mint? How about the "sin-i-mints" from Victoria's Secret?

There's lots of them out there, so start looking now!!

Also, it give people easy gifts to get you for Christmas and birthdays! My sister and brother-in-law have added very neat tins to my collection over the last several years!

Thanks, and happy hunting! Let the group know about the cool tins you find!

Re: Papa Johnny's Altoids Tin Collection Photos
The "Trio Tin" as it is called I got from a lady I worked with back in 2003 - I think this is the large tin (10 oz) that used to be offered at Christmas time
