<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 228555, member: 3726"]I do not discuss it with just anybody - my family knows and a few people at work know. Not worried about people thinking I am weird otherwise I would never be able to mention I volunteer to help run a cemetery. If you can do that, then talking about coins is easy. The problem is that the ones I do know who collect, usually are not interested in what I like. With others it just never really comes up. My Aunt wanted to get her grandson into coin collecting, me and my father both offered to help. We outlined some books to look through first, some cheap coins to collect, etc. The last I heard is weenie of a father said "no" to the idea because he did not stick with his baseball collection or pokemon collection(Both are in binders and maintained). Maybe coins with history would have been a better selection for the kid. I think my local coin shop guy summed it up best on why I collect - "It is really amazing how this hobby reduces stress for those involved.". It is fun and it gives me something to look forward 2 with my free time. And heck I can now always come here if I want to "chat on coins". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
