LOL!!

 

The quantity of qualitative observations far exceeds my quantitative abilities.

 

You know you are a coin collector when you try to make amends with your wife by giving her a coin necklace.

 

if... you go to buy a new power tool and your card is declined and you have to pay with the money in your cup holder and centre console

 

You know you’re a coin collector when you think a cameo is a hell of a proof coin.

 

You drain the coin changers at local car washes! You're also a quarter hoarder!!!

 

When you peruse the take a penny leave a penny tray as the cashier rings up your groceries.

 

I so do this too. I've made a few exchanges too (usually leave 2, take 1). I found an off center at the local burrito joint a few years ago.

 

You know you are a coin collector when you have to go through the vacuum bag because you heard it suck up a coin when you vacuumed under your work area.

 

...You notice the designs on chocolate coins!



Bonus: You compulsively check the floor around a vending machine for dropped coins.

 

...the highlight of your grocery store trip is checking the reject tray of the coinstar machine.

 

You have set off car alarms bumping into parked ones looking down for dropped coins.

 

Guilty...

 

You know you are a coin collector when....you have stacks of coins set up all over the place according to which ones have been inspected already, which ones are awaiting close inspection, and ones that are of some type of interest that will be photographed for future download on CT with questions. All the cubbies and shelves on my desk at home consists of little categorized stacks of coins.

 

LOL....Same here.

 

I agree with almost all of this, except your very last sentence.

All the cubbies and shelves on my desk at home consists of little stacks of coins.

Categorized? Not so much

 

You know you're a coin collector if you look at coins and hear one of them calling your name.

 

Speaking of vacuum cleaners and coins I just did that. I was vacuuming with my Shark and I thought it sucked up a missing 1975 S Cent that might have rolled under my TV stand. No luck, it was a AAA battery. So yes I’m a vacuum cleaner canister diver. (no metal detector required)

I wonder what happened to my 1975 S?
