<p>[QUOTE="BATTERup646, post: 2478098, member: 75931"]I made myself a promise to only go through rolls to find coins for my collection, not to profit me. Coins and notes are government property (yes they are) so I believe it is wrong to go through hundreds of boxes of coins so you can profit yourself only a little bit. To answer your question, I save a bit of newly minted coins so I can hand them to younger collectors in the future. Just because a coin's metal content is considered invaluable, doesn't mean they aren't cool coins. In 2116, someone will find a 2016 coin that we look upon as trash today, and they will treat it as a treasure. We cannot rob the opportunity of the youth (and old) finding old coins and getting into collecting. That is something that some of us do on a daily basis. Let me just make an opinion that you don't have to agree on; Don't be selfish, whatever is given to you can be taken away, nothing lasts forever. I unfortunately have lived to see each of these, and just want to pass on the experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
