Thanks, but it's not for me....

Look, if we held to a strictly Objectivist morality, we probably would not collect any government coins, only private gold, silver art bars, tokens, bank drafts and stock certificates. Myself, I can be fairly tolerant, being the owner of a couple of Roman imperials, a fascist Dime from Woodrow Wilson, and even one of those bitterly ironic Soviet silvers from 1922. But we all have our limits and our preferences. Rather than telling me why you think I am wrong (which is impossible given the subjective nature of economic value), does anyone have any series of their own that they eschew for whatever reason?

Churchill crowns, Chilean condors, ... the world has no shortage of ugly coins... "Liberia celebrates Elvis" seems sort of artificial, eh? I'm just asking: What do you prefer to not collect. It's a simple question.
