<p>[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 32622, member: 1749"]I'm in a half dozen frequent flyer programs, and I trade them in as fast as I get them. Like Ed, I'd rather drive if it's 7 or so hours away (and I usually do). I don't think I hoard any coins... though I get carried away with buying too many. It's not because I'm trying to go for quantity. I'm just overwhelmed too easily. I either like the look and design of the coin, am trying to complete a specific set, and/or get that warm-fuzzy feeling when I think about the history behind it. There's always something new to see and learn.</p><p>I think almost anything can be hoarded, but I don't see a direct connection to coin collectors (maybe in the Ted Binion story?). I have a relative with 20 boxes of unopened Beanie Babie cards and a case of old Easy Bake Oven mixes. A friend has a rubber band ball the size of my stove. Why? Who knows. Maybe they're hoarders of another kind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
