<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1831665, member: 44357&quot;]I think this is inescapable. Young people simply don&#039;t have the discretionary funds to buy non-essentials like coins. It makes logical sense that once one has an established financial base from which to draw and self-sustain, coins and other &quot;luxuries&quot; can come into the picture. I also don&#039;t think that the current clad coinage will be any detriment to collecting either - just because US coins used to be made of silver doesn&#039;t mean that the metal content was the only reason for collecting them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for women not collecting coins, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if we see more women collectors over time. My better half actually enjoys my coins (or so she says) due to their aesthetic qualities. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (she doesn&#039;t like the Colosseum anywhere near as much as she would want us to have an EID MAR, and she is very picky about the aesthetics of what I attempt to acquire) but I don&#039;t think TIF is alone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
