<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3696679, member: 84179"]I started collecting when I was in elementary school. My brother, who is a year younger, never had any interest in coin collecting. We had the usual sibling rivalry battles but one of his favorite ways to get even with me, was threatening to take my coins and spend them. He was pretty creative and used to say he would only take some of them and I would never know which ones were gone. Since we shared a room, it was hard to keep stuff hidden, so it worked like a charm. It would push me over the edge, and he knew he won.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>He recently retold the story at a family event. Our mother commented “You never spent any of them, right?”.
