[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2042777, member: 71234"][I]I hear you, but there are very important female numismatists.[/I] There are no fixed rules, certainly. The mediation of learned behaviour by the cerebral cortex of the more basic instincts of the older parts of the brain is what allows civilisation to exist at all, but we all still have that old lizard brain ticking away despite millions of years of evolution building more and more layers of sophisticated reasoning on top of it. We still retain the fight or flight instincts of the primaeval creatures we are built on so despite the marvel of the highest brain functions, predicting the mass behaviour of humans is best based on their basic programming. The OP's objective could probably be best achieved by a strict prohibition to his sister of any form of collecting, especially coins, as he wishes to keep them all to himself. For an eleven year old, this should do the trick.[/QUOTE]
