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

That's so true! I mean it's not like the denomination is on them...

My dad sometimes gets rolls of the presidential dollars just for the fun of spending. One time the cashier didn't know what they were and thought they were half dollars even though they had "$1" on the back. She called her manager over and asked and he told her they were dollars. Her response was something to the extent of "so they're 50 cents, right?"

And while I hate to perpetuate stereotypes, the cashier did have blonde hair.

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

People visiting your home are warned by your wife not to follow you to your den.

 

You make your truck payment in a repurposed padded envelope.

 

...you're at a friend's house and when they leave the room, you jam your entire arm into the sofa to look for loose change.

1st Corollary: you check with your friend still in the room
2nd Corollary: you still check even when your spouse/date repeatedly smacks you on the head
3rd Corollary: you talk your friend into helping you turn the sofa upside down and shake it
4th Corollary: you continue to search after your spouse/date leaves in embarrassment

 

When.... you hide your purchases from your wife, and when she complains you say look; coins keep me out of the bars and off the streets! Then you spend more & more time w your coins and less time w her. And she eventually divorces you and runs off with her personal trainer Ramone,.....

 

And you consider yourself lucky. ..

 

But wish you hadn't blabbed about how much your coins were worth because she was awarded half your collection in divorce court

Edit: this is NOT a true story
Man that would suck wouldnt it?

 

You know youre a collector when: every old house you step into, you start sniffing and looking around for the hidden stash of coins someone tucked away

 

That is very close to a true story for me. I had to hire an attorney to argue that my coins were part of a long running family collection and that she had no claim to any of them. I still had to write a VERY big check to buy her half of the coins that I had purchased while we were married though.

 

Man this thread just got real, you know youre a collector when...you sleep w a loaded pistol in the night stand next to your side of the bed...

 

That's not because I'm a coin collector. It's because I've made two careers out of pissing off very dangerous people.

 

You become cross eyed.....

 

when you tip washer & dryer up looking for those escapee coins left in pockets
not just own house but in customers house
I have an excuse for that however

this was a good idea lots of good stuff

 

When the woman on the other pillow's name is Morgan.

 

I think I love you.

 

When you lay in bed at night and think about coins instead of MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island.

 

When you are always looking down while walking thru parking lots and entry areas of the stores....Cause there is better than a 50/50 chance you'll find at least one coin...

 

... when you (the manager) hand out a "starter coin" to each kid at the end-of-the-season Little League team party, instead of a baseball trophy.

 

You know you're a coin collector...when you can relate to at least more than a dozen
of these post's..ohh,you know who you are

 

You know your a coin collector when at Halloween you get dressed up and go trick or treating hoping for some change. .
even though your waaay past 40..[emoji83]
