[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 2547294, member: 75143"]So I'm 5 shots of liquid inspiration into writing 2 papers tonight and I've come to a realization. I figured most of you are twice or 3 times my age when it comes to collecting. I started collecting coins at age 8. I'm 21 now so its been half my life. But I realized - I don't actually like coins that much. I've been collecting by date and mintmark for so long but I keep on realizing that so many sets are so expensive to complete due to those pesky key dates. When my grandfather died in 2012 he left it all to my dad, who then gave it all to me. A bunch of good stuff, and it rekindled my interest, but now I'm starting to drift away. I have decided to transition entirely to foreign paper money. Mainly because they are cheaper and look much nicer than most american currency. And there's so much variety! Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you deal with it?[/QUOTE]
