<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26210010, member: 27832&quot;]If you&#039;re a hoarder, it&#039;s really, really hard to stop. It seems to me that coins can be an <i>outlet</i> for hoarding, a kind of &quot;harm reduction&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re more compact than most other things people hoard. They don&#039;t need to be fed or cleaned up after like animals. They don&#039;t spoil or expire like food or trash - heck, they aren&#039;t even a fire hazard. I supposed they <i>could</i> fall on you and crush you, but you&#039;d have to work at it a lot harder than newspaper or book or hardware hoarders.</p><p><br /></p><p>And when the time comes for someone else to clean up the mess you leave, coins are a lot easier to get value out of than other things. True, they might get ripped off by an unscrupulous dealer offering 10% of actual value -- but that&#039;s still a better return than you&#039;d get from stacks of newspaper or canned food, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
