/r/BottleCapCollecting
This is the subreddit for all things related to bottle cap collecting. It can be a super fun hobby, especially when you have others helping you out. Our goal is to create a community of collectors/sellers/traders
We focus on collecting and acquiring caps, rather than bottle cap art/stories/memorabilia
Things that ARE allowed in this subreddit:
Requests for trades, requests to buy and letting others know you are selling bottle caps.
Links to bottle cap auctions on Ebay, Craigslist, etc...
Posting pictures of unknown caps to seek help identifying them.
Displaying collections.
Asking questions related to the hobby (eg. seeking methods for repairing damaged caps) which are not covered in the FAQ.
Anything relating to obtaining information on caps, or the drinks themselves. This is more or less the general rule from which all of the other subreddit rules are derived.
Making posts about feedback about a trade that you had with another user. This keeps the community safe.
Bottle cap art, as long as it shows your different caps. If it's just the same cap over and over again or you can't actually see the design on the cap, it should not be posted. If you want to show bottle cap art and it doesn't not satisfy these criteria, you can now post it on r/BottleCap_Art!
Things that are not allowed
Posts asking questions that are answered in the FAQ. It has a lot of good community answers, so you will most likely find your answer here.
Posts related to Fallout. Comments related to Fallout are allowed. I only say this because I want this subreddit to lean more towards actually collecting and getting information on caps, rather than memes.
Stories.
Motivational posts that happen to involve bottle caps .
Anything not involved with actually collecting caps or collecting information on caps.
No posts asking others to PM you for trade images. If you have images of trade caps, just post them for all to see.
Very frequent posting (i.e. don't post something every day or two)
Nothing related to non fungible tokens (NFTs)
No posts that are not tailored to this subreddit. Basically, if you have submitted the same post to a bunch of other subreddits, it is not tailored to this subreddit and should not be posted.
If you would like to submit something, but are not sure if it is appropriate for this sub, feel free to message one of the mods!
If you want a custom flair (especially if you want to display your CC.I or CCSI identification number), let us know and we will make it for you!

Mostly austrian and german beers and beverages - would hate to throw them away. Cheers from Austria 🇦🇹
I'm in Northern Ireland, happy to trade any of the attached (I also have multiples of some of these if you want more?).
Happy for small or large trade.
I'm especially interested in expanding my Australian and New Zealand collection. So bonus points for those. Uneven trade also considered.
I really wanted to post it in the fallout subreddit but they wouldn't allow it sadly. This is 1800 bottle caps that I have saved up so far since 2018. I'm hoping that maybe, and it's most likely not gonna happen, that I could be a second person to purchase a fallout game (Fallout 5) using bottle caps lol but if I can't, I'm still proud of myself for having this many anyway!
Hello, I collect crown caps and that type of caps of juice, soda, tea and milk profucts like the image. Anyone collect that or want to trade (for crown caps or that capd of image)?
This is cap 138 to my collection also yeah new phone and my photos might not look as good as they used to also yeah had to repost I forgot the image again
Some are German some are British some are Belgian! Most of them I picked up on holiday last year.
I got hold of one of these a few months ago, and somehow lost it 😤 The drink is apparently discontinued. I’ve checked eBay but the few that are on there cost £££. I’m willing to trade literally any amount of doubles for this cap. I love the design and really miss having it on my display board!
I’m based in England, so ideally the trade would be with another UK-based colllector.
Thanks in advance!
I have some caps like these that have writing on them, I think it's the batch number or the expiry or bottling date, but I think they're really ugly to look at because they cover the caps, does anyone have any advice on how to remove these writings without ruining the cap?
Hey folks, Im looking to get rid of these caps. just for fun I bought one of those EBay listings for 100 home-brew bottle caps, and while there are some nice designs mixed in, I found that I really didn't like the fact that they were never used. There's no story to them, you know? Something I learned about myself is that I value the memory associated with getting a new cap more than the cap itself. Anyway, I dont want these in my collection, so if you want them they're yours, though Id appreciate if you could pay a few bucks for shipping. PM me for pictures if interested.
I’m watching some guy play Fortnite in a library rn
Yeah... Im loosing stuff to say here... Ill keep it short this is cap 137 (yeah I had to repost I forgot the image...)
Anyone else having trouble getting onto the Crown Caps Index, specifically on a laptop? I keep getting messages along the lines of "Your connection is not private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information". Has CCI been hacked or is it just my antivirus?
At the end of the month my girlfriend and I are driving from Long Island New York to Greensboro North Carolina. Was wondering if you guys had any recommendations of breweries with cool or unique caps, or bottle shops worth stopping at.
And yes as you can tell the beer bottle caps I found them on the street cuz I’m a teetotaler I don’t drink alcohol
I have about 10,000 Bottle caps and I want to display my favourites. Does anyone have any ideas?
