Cincinnati College Student New Collector

Hello All
I am 23 Years old getting ready to Graduate from UC in a month. I started collecting paper money when bills were changing styles and was never interested in coins at all... Funny how things change I love my coins so much more and cannot get away from them.

My wife hates the collection and says I love it more than I do her. She does not get the appeal and understanding of how it is interesting. I tell her its the treasure hunt

I go to banks everyday and get change I'm a big pocket change collector. Also go through Ebay spurts every once in a while... Gets me into trouble

My wife says the same thing about Coin Talk. Fortunately, she is only kidding and is very supportive. Welcome to CT and I hope you find many interesting things here. We have quite a few paper money collectors on here that can defintely help you as your collection goes. Good luck! Tell your wife just wait until you get addicted to Coin Talk..... then she is really going to get after you!
