<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2111803, member: 26302&quot;]Yes, many believe in outreach. However, every single organization who works on such outreach use the same tired, clichéd, and erroneous reasons to do outreach. This hobby will not die without YN&#039;s, since most collectors today were not YN&#039;s and we are fine and will continue to be fine. Outreach should be done not to save the hobby but simply since its a nice thing to do for young people.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I didn&#039;t consider it a cop&nbsp; out answer. For full disclosure, I am a Boy Scout merit badge counselor for coins and other things, I have donated coins and my time for Ancient Coin for Education program, and give away late roman coins to YN&#039;s all of the time. I am not anti-YN at all, and I do spend time and money to help youngsters in this hobby. I am simply saying all of the reasons people always trot out why this hobby will die if we do not get more kids involved are wrong, and have been used and have been wrong for 40 years now at least.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are YN&#039;s great to have in the hobby? Of course. Everyone should spend time to encourage them and help them. Will this hobby die out if there are no YN&#039;s? Absolutely not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
