<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1767824, member: 26302&quot;]I would have to agree. Call me an old fogey or whatever, I just cannot get into guitar shaped coins, Tuvalu colorized coins, or these. I simply prefer items that were designed to circulate as money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My worry is where is the line drawn? If the Franklin mint creates a 63 Corvette replica that some country allows to have their name stamped on it as &quot;legal tender&quot;, is that a &quot;coin&quot;. What about a special &quot;Alexander the Great&quot; plate stamped as legal tender of the Canary Islands? At some point you are collecting modern collectibles ala beanie babies or collectible plates more than coins IMHO.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, no offense meant Steve, just warning about what is down this road. But, each collector needs to find that line for themselves. Personally, I wish they WOULD have made these priced for kids and more available. Make these a $5 coin, and I would think about buying them for my son who likes dinosaurs. Iwould treat them as atoy expense, hoping maybe they would encourage him to collect coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
