[QUOTE="Cachecoins, post: 4672203, member: 111237"]I just likes what I likes. If I like it, it's interesting to my eye and I am interested in the history it represents then I take my time to find that one piece of currency, that one historical artifact, to spend a little of my currency on. Its a passion for the history and artistry that drives me (and certainly others here), learning everything I can about that time, place, person, event, engraver, what came before and after. I am interested in currency, how it began, how it evolved, how it is made. The only way value enters into it is that if I am going to spend money for money, I want it to be the right one and it's probably better to spend a little more then regret spending a little less and not getting that one example that was just what I was looking for. Numismatics is not just collecting. It is another of the many important disciplines that study a field of human endeavour, it is much more than just representative value or a medium of exchange. It is history, art, art history, propaganda, symbolism, the history of economics and monetary systems. It's so much more than just coin fondling. :)[/QUOTE]
