<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1770699, member: 40017&quot;]I am very much with you on this one - as soon as any country starts mass producing coins for the collectors market I lose interest. For me, part of the attraction of coins is the history and usage they have had, and as soon as this is bypassed they become merely bullion or tourist pieces to me.</p><p>I think some countries need to beware of &quot;killing the goose that lays the golden egg&quot; in this way, and I include the UK Royal Mint in that. A proliferation of commemoratives, special and limited issues in the end just annoys the collectors - look how the over-supply of stamp issues and first day covers has all but killed modern stamp collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
