<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1903707, member: 25270&quot;]Ever since I was a young child coins interested me for some reason, and I&#039;d get really excited whenever I&#039;d find anything unusual in my parents&#039; change, such as a wheat penny, a bicentennial quarter or a Canadian coin. I always saved these. At some point my dad pulled out the coins he brought back from his time in the military and gave those to me, and my grandmother gave me some foreign coins she had accumulated over the years from when she owned a tavern. </p><p><br /></p><p>About five years ago I started dating someone who later became my wife, and she knew I kind of liked coins, so she bought me a few Whitman albums for the U.S. presidential dollar coins. I wanted to fill these up, then get others and fill those up. Pretty soon I had all the cheap spots filled and the ones I still needed were too pricey, so I turned to foreign coins, which could be had for 25 cents apiece from a big bin at the coin store. Now I probably have about 5,000 foreign coins and hardly even think about U.S. coins anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
