<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 7331871, member: 42773"]My brother and I collected coins out of change when we were boys. In the 60's and early 70's you could still find an occasional Mercury dime, Buffalo nickel, Franklin half, and a fair share of Canadian. One day (I must have been 7 or 8 years old), my grandmother took me to the Bon Marche in downtown Seattle, where they had a coin department on the 5th floor. It was my first exposure to the idea that you could spend your brand new boring money on extremely interesting old money!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1280617[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
