<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 1393070, member: 24565&quot;]Perhaps not the best reason to collect, but what I like about them is they represent MY history..meaning, every single one has a story that means something to me.&nbsp; Perhaps given to me by this person or that one; maybe a favorite customer when I was a waitress so many years ago (I have a lot of those), or coins brought home from a trip overseas with my father many years ago, that we received in change for this or that.&nbsp; Coins from Russia, a mission trip.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve some that were given to me from trips I only heard about..&nbsp; Birth years of friends or people who are gone now, and when I look at them, I think of those people.&nbsp; Beauty...I&#039;ve coins that I have purchased for their sheer beauty.&nbsp; Sometimes after I learn the history of some event, I have purchased a coin in order to have a &#039;part&#039; of that history.&nbsp; Coins I have won in contests, here, remind me what I have learned here, and they remind me of each individual I have encountered in the process.&nbsp; Each of those have a history now with me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All for the sentiment.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And now that I have been here for a while, and read so many posts, I can honestly say that I am fascinated by all of the complexity there is to coins and currency.&nbsp; I do not see ever learning it all, however I expect I will continue to enjoy the journey!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> LucyRay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
