35. Rather than save for your kid's college fund, you drop 5 grand on a proof Morgan and call it an "investment".

36. You realize you just completed your set of proof Morgans.

 

hehe, you bet!
Being tall also helps

 

37. You're breathlessly waiting for the hot new thing from the Royal Canadian Mint - a square, irridescent dollar commemorating Fabio's 50th birthday.

 

38. You have walked into the store to use the coinstar, and by the time your done dumping $60.00 in pennies into it, there is a long line behind you.

 

39. You stay home on a Saturday night and watch coin shows on cable shopping channels as a form of entertainment while you roll search.

 

40. Every old abandoned house that you drive past you wonder if there is any lost change laying around on the floor or a forgotten jar of coins shoved way back in the corner of the cupboard.

41. You start attending funerals of people you dont even know and as subtle as you can possibly be start mentioning that you collect coins and ask with curiosity "Didnt Grandma/Grandpa (whichever fits) collect coins?

 

Laffin my A off !!!!
Reminds me of the movie " Wedding Crashers "

 

LOL
some one makes a joke and says " Ill give you 25 cents for your dollar" and you seriously consider it, after studying both coins"
and
you deliberately pay with a higher denomination bill so you can get more new change and bills back

 

You see the apple logo and a voice in the back of your head says "clipped planchet".

This happened to me the other day :/

 

Coin hoarders

#42:
You have $240.00 in rolls of nickels to turn into the bank and you cannot convince the teller that 'I Did Not Win Them At The Casino'...

#43: The 'tooth fairy' gives dollar bills instead of quarters.

#44: You see your spouse give the 'correct change' to a cashier and
seriously start thinking about divorce.

#45: You pick up coins from the street and tell people it is for your grandkids.

#46: You never, but never, put change in one of those little red pots
we see during the hollydays.

#47: You never have change for the parking meter.

#48: You put dollars into soda machines just so you can get coins back.

#49: You pay the admission fee to the coin show with a crudy old Ike.

#50: You refuse to take your car to the car wash because the machines only take quarters.

jeankay

 

#51: You offer to go get other peoples lunch for them to see what they hand you .
#52: And pay each lunch individually. to get more change.

 

I definitly agree with paying with a higher denomination to get more change back...

"total is $4.56? - well, I could pay with this 5... or I could pay with this 10." (to get star notes and low serial numbers, possibly)

 

#53 - You do "Drill-Down" coin roll searching. First you buy a roll of halves. Once you've gone through them, take what's left over and buy as many quarters as you can. Repeat. Rinse. Then Buy Dimes. Repeat. Rinse. I think you get the idea. I do it all the time - ok. Sometimes I have to add some money, but I definitely recycle.!

 

Yes, I get that feeling every time I drive through an old neighborhood or see an old abandon car or an old couch, etc.

 

#54 - Every time I pick up a penny from the pavement, I hold it up and say "one more step to a secure financial future!". I actually do say this - and I say it in front of family members. Luckily I have a job.

 

# 55, u find out which coin goes for the most and find/steal it.
(not that i would steal a coin).

 

#56. You wonder why with all of the technology we have, why can't an ATM dispense coin rolls in addition to paper notes.

 

that phase has passed i am semi retired now

 

that would be fantastic, im already thinking about how im going to approach the people at my bank and asking for a entire box of coins...
