<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3843501, member: 91609&quot;]Well, Masons are a proud group (as I understand - I am not one) &amp; they have a unique &amp; readily identifiable logo/symbol.&nbsp; As [USER=17665]@tommyc03[/USER] already mentioned, sometimes you&#039;ll find the Lodge # on it as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for why people do these things, it just seems to be how we&#039;re &quot;wired&quot;.&nbsp; I have some notes in my collection which have stamps on them (an Irish bar, for example) which I like.&nbsp; Then there are the &quot;short snorters&quot;, full of autographs.&nbsp; Not to mention &quot;Lucky Penny&quot; advertising, of which I have a few special ones.&nbsp; And &quot;love&quot; tokens.&nbsp; There is really no end to what we will do to a coin (or note), &amp; that doesn&#039;t mean it becomes non-collectable.&nbsp; And you brought up a good point regarding ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s kind of the greatness of what we do - there really is no right &amp; wrong for collecting - it&#039;s what we (individually) like.&nbsp; If there are 1 million of us with collections, there are 1 million different collections![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
