<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2549205, member: 15588"]I think this says it all. What do <i>you</i> want to do? Do you value your collection or do you want to part with it? As you said, they will likely not be worth much in your lifetime. And since they're changing designs, others will likely also hoard them with the (often, but not always, misguided) idea that they will become "rare" since they will no longer be minted. In such cases, some people put away specimens in the hope of future profits. The same goes for first year issues. At least for US coins, this probably accounts for the huge number of 1909 and 1909 VDB Lincoln cents available in succulent and very affordable condition even today (the S mints of the same year are another story, of course). In the end, and barring unpredictable circumstances, nothing that was minted today in the millions or billions will likely have any value for at least a number of generations. But if you enjoy them, keep them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
