<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1482503, member: 23885"]To me this is a marketing problem. Of course video games are a major distraction. They are mass marketing and give instant gratification... but collecting has always been in the soul of a youngster. Think about all of the good old days of collecting sports cards, trading them with the neighborhood kids, pogs, dragon ball z cards, and even coins (yes I had a friend who collected coins). The thing about it is I didn't know about coins until I stumpled into a store while at the grocery store with my mom. Never even knew the coin world existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe if numismatics was marketed correctly than it could be very good for the community. Parents need to know about coins as well. That it is a positive thing. Heck when I was in high school you should have seen all the goof balls out drinking or smoking marijuana. What a waste. They could be involved in something inspiring like coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
