<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 679822, member: 18211&quot;]Yes, coins have made me much more appreciative of history. Each coin is a small surviving relic of the past and has a story to tell -- although we don&#039;t always know the entire story -- about why it was made, about how people lived at the time, how they used the coins, and how important it was to them. I have a few examples of shipwreck coins for which I know when and where it was minted, where and when is was going when the ship wrecked, what ship it was on, why it was on the ship, the significance of the loss, how and when it was found, and how it got to my hands. That&#039;s very cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
