<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2812326, member: 78244&quot;]I was telling my friend about my collecting strategy for ancient coins, in that each had to have an interesting story. To give her an example, I told her about my Nero denarius and put it into historical context, with Nero&#039;s gluttony and obesity, the Jewish revolts, and some theories I had read about the origins and meanings of the number 666 representing the antichrist. When I was done, she was so engrossed in the story that she had forgotten that it was all tied to the coin. When I brought the coin back up, she was amazed that so much history was packed into a little round metal disk.</p><p><br /></p><p>My friend had no interest in collecting coins, but I think enamoring friends/spouses/kids/etc. with interesting stories is the way to spark an interest or respect for our passion.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]658482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]658483[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
