<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 1083707, member: 1748&quot;]As a low-income coin collector, I think about this sort of thing from time to time, and here are my thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really don’t want to keep the coins yourself, but want to profit from them somehow, then think in terms other than money (and I know that if you need the money it’s hard to think in other terms.)&nbsp; There are plenty of people who would love to have them or look through them; even if you can’t profit from them financially, you can profit from it in friendship and in just feeling good about making other people happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I’d ask around with family, friends, and co-workers.&nbsp; Do any of them have a world coin collection, or have kids who might be interested?&nbsp; The Cub Scout suggestion was a great one.&nbsp; You could also ask school teachers if they know of any social studies classes that might find them useful for learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a great appreciation for the people who have given me coins and advice over the years (de Orc and Drusus, on this forum, have both given me things, and everyone here is very generous with their knowledge;&nbsp; I have a great memory of my next door neighbor when I was about 8 years old giving me envelopes of coins when he returned from Europe, and I still have most of them!) They certainly can’t spend my appreciation, I’m sorry to say, but I hope I can send some good spiritual vibrations their way:smile</p><p><br /></p><p>How on earth does a person accumulate twenty gallons of world coins, anyway?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
