Message:: [QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 1481832, member: 9204"]Coin club discussion, circa 1955: "There are far too many distractions for kids today. Technology has  created radio listening/sock hopping zombies out of the young  generation today. Instant gratification is the name of the game as well.  Tell a kid to search through 10 rolls of large cents and look at each and  everyone with a magnifying glass looking for differences and that it  might take a few hours. He'd tell you what to do with those pennies. " Kids these days with their talkie pictures... with their phonographs... with their folio-bound books. It's easy to blame technology for an imagined inadequacy in the younger generation, and it's happened since history began. I beg you, PLEASE do not make this game! I love coin collecting, probably more than you, but I play games as well. This would undoubtedly be the hokiest, cheesiest thing to ever be released. Actually, come to think of it, there is a major undercurrent of collecting in most games. There are plenty in which you go on lengthy quests and missions to acquire rare items, later trading those with other players for even better ones. There may come a day when these digital hoarders go analog and give this hobby a major boost.[/QUOTE]
