<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3015389, member: 76086"]OK. So I hope you ([USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER] or anyone else) dont take offense at what I am about to say. I think all should see the humor in it. My daughter is 12 years old. She loves money, or spending it anyway. For her it is a novelty. So this past weekend she had decided that she needed to buy a blender for making smoothies. OK. No problems. I ask how much money she has saved and she has indeed enough. Her total was $14.97. Her response to the clerk? Keep the change. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wow. Three cents. I suggested she was a 'One Percenter' (in a loving and joking manner, as much as she can understand the concept). I mean, I grew up with nothing. A penny actually was someting, and when added together they amounted to actual buying power. </p><p><br /></p><p>I never fail to pick up a penny when I see one and I also encourage my kids to do so as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does this apply to the thread? Slightly I suppose. When one cant buy that FDC Decius Aureus there are always other lesser coins one can buy considering what you might have saved by not buying one or another coin. There will always be another auction, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
