Revenge

So, my brother has always gave me a hard time about collecting coins. He, is not a bad guy, just doesnt understand collecting anything at all. So last week his kids spent a few days with me and my daughter. I got them all state quarter albums and explained to them how to fill the book. They went nuts looking through change jars trying to fill holes. My brother called yesterday and said his son carries the coin book everywhere he goes, and is constantly asking him for quarters. Next time they come over, Im going to tell them about local coin shows and get them hooked on Mercury dimes.

You're the uncle to have.

 

True! But also the evil brother.

 

Breeding future customers. Smart.

 

The ultimate revenge will be, when one day, the kids end up on A&E's Hoarders.

 

Cool uncle to do that, but no worries, video games will soon take over.

 

It's a nice thing you've started them on, but I don't think it's a very good idea that he carries the album around with him. Not all kids are nice, and it's not a good idea to advertise that coins are collected in the house.

Nah, if that were the case I would already have been on the show. Great thing about coins is how little space they take up, even when they number well into the tens of thousands.

 

WHo said you can't enjoy a life of coins and video games? I certainly live as so.

 

Oh man that's good.

Same here dude.

 

Sounds like my grandpa.....
Anyway, AWESOME!

 

I don't think this puts him at risk for a break in...it's a child collecting circulated coins in a folder. Now, it might put him at risk from other kids looking for vending machine change...but that might be it.

 

Very cool. Great way to get them started for sure.

 

Well done. I too like playing the evil uncle in the family. I thought it was part of the job title!

 

Love it!

 

While you are at it, show the kids what gold coins look like!
