<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3038615, member: 17665"]I voted minor impact. In the overall scheme of such a massive economy as we have, while numismatics adds to the economy, it has little impact. But it can be a double edged sword. If someone uses only discretionary money to finance their hobby, all is well. If someone who does little research and takes on a lot of debt buying coins or P.M.'s, using rent, mortgage, utilities money or maxes out a credit card/s not knowing what they are getting into, then it makes a negative impact on the economy. Maybe not a huge impact but an impact nonetheless. Especially if they default on credit cards or heaven forbid, lose their home over it (and it has happened as easily as getting carried away in Vegas).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
