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

You forget to get your car keys but not your loupe.

When you pay in cash and forego your credit card's "money back" in order to get more change - hoping to find something that offsets the loss.

And thinking this is legitimate risk.

 

Not "legitimate risk", just "reasonable entertainment expense".

I've also, er, I mean, one might also set a threshold above which you'll still pay with the card. Foregoing five or ten cents of reward for a handful of change seems more reasonable than foregoing five or ten bucks.

 

When you pick up every penny you see on the ground hoping to find a key date.

 

I call it Chinese water torture with nasal drip instead of water.

 

How about when you go into your local bank, to your favorite teller, and lean in to whisper, "hey, you got anything good for me today"?

 

Daler & Thaler

 

Yeah, but it's .97! Forget the groceries!

 

........or when a gay couple names their adopted son, Francisco, but calls him Fran.

Don't anyone be offended!

I picked up my car at the shop yesterday. The bill was $435, so I took five of the new $100 notes because I always like to look through the notes I get from oddball places of business. When the owner noticed that I was paying in cash, she said, "Just make it $410." When she realized that I didn't have anything but hundreds, she said, "Aw, $400 will do."

Dang! I didn't get to look at anything!

When youre in someone else's car and youre looking through their ashtrays and cupholders at their loose change.

Im a mechanic and the temptation is always their with customer vehicles

 

...when you're on CT but not on FB.

 

...when you didn't know FB stands for Facebook

 

Thanks. I didn't know what you meant by FB since I think of it as the CIA guest book.

 

when you bring "cookies" to your fav Bank Teller

 

when you visit 10 banks to find that special "One" that cheerfully accepts your bags of returned coins with a smile.
And places another order for 2 Boxes of Cents and 2 Boxes of Nickels.

 

When your "over drawn" due to ordering 3 Boxes of Half's.

 

What dimension is that in?

 

You know your a coin collector when...you have no food in the cupboards,your starving hungry and you address every coin as " my precious ".
My pet Jack Russell dog was named PENNY...yes i did say "was",
It was the dog or spend coin's,I had to eat something.
