WEBSITE of ARJAN VERWEIJ

I am actively collecting dice since I got several special dice around 1990.
On this site you can see more than 1840 pictures of a few thousand dice from my huge collection:
dice from different countries, dice with 2-100 faces, dice from different materials, promotional dice,
dice spinners (teetotums), dice with various types of markings, and dice as old as 2000 years!!!!
