    when you're wife calls you up and tells you that your son or daughter swallowed a penny, and you respond "Oh my gosh! What year?"

    When your wife calls you up and tells you that your son or daughter swallowed a penny, and you go into dialogue that there is no such thing as an American penny.

    Any others? :D (Wasn't there a thread similiar to this at one time?)

    I presume that you weren't referring to yourself, or your jokes.

    I belive there was a few months ago. I think I responded at that time that you know you're a coin collector when:
    You're on Coin Talk and your wife tells you to get off the (explitive) computer and talk to me.

    when you hold up the check out line at the grocery store because you thought you saw a steel cent in the drawer while the cashier was drawing your change.

    of course that never happened, nope, never, not to me, nope.

    You know you're an ancient coin collector when you see a coin dated 1796 and think... "Wow, that's so modern!"

    You know you're a coin collector.....

    When you ask the bell ringers outside the stores during the holidays if you can look through their pot of coins.

    You know you are a coin collector and someone tells you that a penny dropped from the top of the empire state can kill someone and you say "Was the penny OK"?

    When you search through abandoned vehicles for the dropped coinage and instead of just picking them up, you check the dates on them.

    Wifey goes shopping, but you choose to sit in the car in the hot sun reading Coin World instead of walking through the mall in the A/C.

    You take your latest copy of Coin World with you when ever you take wifey out on a date to keep you entertained while she's talking to you.

    You plan on taking wifey to Hawaii for your anniversary and you pack in your luggage your Red Books so that you can have something to do while she's sleeping!
