<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 498862, member: 4552"]Yes the internet is great for collectors of all types. If you want to sell or buy anything and you use the internet you have millions and millions of people to deal with. At coin shows, regardless of how big, never that many people. </p><p>Of course there is the eventual problem with the internet for coins or currency. In the near future all such monitary systems will be long gone. Coins will be something of the past. Even now the computer age is eleminating the usage of money. At stores, gas stations, hospitals, rent a car places, etc. money is vanishing. Actually it is almost impossible to rent a car without a credit card. Where I live there are toll roads. They want everyone to use a thing called IPASS. It is an electronic device on your car so you don't have to use money. If you do use money you are actually required to pay double. Everywhere I go I see less and less people using money. Eventually the computer age will wipe out the need for money so coin collecting will become something like looking for mummies in Egypt. Just something in history books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
