[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3699271, member: 78298"]One problem with this question here, is a small and biased sample size. You are asking people who enjoy the hobby, which is already a small subset of the population. And many want to fight for the future of the hobby rather than look at it objectively. Times and tastes and fads and popular hobbies change. Not that long ago bowling was incredibly popular. (50's, 60's, 70's) Now the people participating are 1/10 that number. More and more establishments have closed, with Bargain Bin dollar stores taking their place and the only bowling left for the most part are leagues. One day in the future there will be no more coins. It could be 100 years from now but it will happen. Coin collecting will go the way of 19th century butterfly collecting as people will move on to other things. It's completely natural.
