[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1614430, member: 112"]This was the title of a show on the History channel that I watched last night, and I got quite a surprise. Basically it was just like what the title said, 101 objects listed in order of importance with object 101 being the least important and object 1 being the most important. Now object #1 ended up being the Bible. Many would agree with that, many others would disagree. But care to guess what the 2nd most important object was ? Well, being as we are on a coin forum, is there any doubt ? Yup, the 2nd most important object that changed the world was coins. Now I personally would have ranked coins in the top 5 someplace, but I was just floored that the show's panel of experts chose coins as the 2nd most important thing in the history of the world ! If things like that keep happening all of us may find a new level of respect. And people may not look at us, coin collectors, as being a bunch of nuts ;) It's not often that I find something to start a thread about, but I thought this one was worthwhile and worthy of mention.[/QUOTE]
