<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2204145, member: 26302&quot;]So I was wasting time in bed a couple of nights ago, and was watching Coin Vault. They had on there coins with a Star Trek theme. They were one of those NCLT &quot;coins&quot; from a nation no one knows about. They were colorized. Worst, they came in a &quot;star trek&quot; holder that you turned on and lighted up around the coin. It really reminded me of a happy meal toy for my children.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is this really the future? A piece of metal with artificial color on it, in three layers of packaging and a gimmicky plastic holder powered by AA batteries, all claiming to be a &quot;coin&quot; because some banana republic got paid $.50 per unit to put their name on it?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the purchase price of this thing, I could buy a bronze coin of Nero or Alexander the Great, or a nice BU WL half, or 16 circulated WL halves, or&nbsp; VF large cent, or even 4 ASE&#039;s. Am I just a dinosaur collecting worn bits of metal from long ago, and the future will be filled with Mickey Mouse, James T Kirk, and Gumby instead?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
