It was 1 time, I admit I had a problem. But I have matured.

 

When your sending your girlfriend into her bank for boxes of coins. Maybe her bank has better ones lol

 

I take it she didnt enjoy that?

When you bid $1,500 total on various coins on ebay and don't expect to win anything.

 

when "all about the benjamins" comes on the radio and you think of your stash of franklins instead of $100's

 

When you have guests at the house, and you scream after you found a wheat penny in the couch cushions.

 

How about, "When you have opened up and read new responses to this thread at least 50 times now?"

 

You just might be a coin junkie if you've given all of your coins their own names.

 

you and your better half have little to say to each other because she hates hearing about coins.

 

..if you're always out of flips when you need them.

 

...if you're doing a math problem in class that is about the probability of heads and tails, you accidentally say obverse and reverse.

 

...if you inspect your coins under an electron microscope for hairline scratches.

 

... you carry a loupe and a magnet with you. Just in case you pass by a surprise flea market. Then when you inspect the coins with loupe the people there stare at you...

 

You know your a coin junkie when,,,,,,,You sit at your desk so long that your tail goes numb!!
