Hello everyone! I'm photographing my boyfriend's, deceased fathers coin collection as a Christmas gift. I am framing the photos and I would like to add a quote with some of the pictures. Does anyone know any sayings or quotes about coin collecting or coin collectors? Any help is appreciated! Thank you, Nelly

They are U.S coins. I wish I could take a peek at them but he is standing right next to me and it is a surprise. Any quotes would be helpful though! THank you!

I put these in the other thread too... • A penny saved is a penny earned • Don't nickel and dime me • A nickel for your thoughts • It's all about the Benjamins • Show me the money • Bring home the bacon • See a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck. • If I had a nickel for everytime I (fill in the blank). • Another quarter in the swear jar... There are some web sites that have coin jokes / humorous phrases like: You’ve just moved to the top of my ‘Want List.’ and"Want to get Certified?" You can just Google keywords like "coin collecting humor" to find more like this...
