<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vettejayk, post: 1397111, member: 36762&quot;]Good point. I hadn&#039;t ever thought of it that way. Reminds me of the way so many nice cars are treated, e.g., Ferraris gobbled up by collectors who keep them hidden under a cover in their hermetically sealed garages. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are so many interesting aspects of coin collecting that appeal to a wide audience. Their history is probably the most obvious, but the economics, technology, artistry are all attractive as well. I really like the way that coin and paper money designs can reveal the zeitgeist of a particular society at a certain time. Take for example the various bank notes printed in 19th century America, many of them with portrayals of industry and railroads. After the civil war, there are also plenty of examples that showcase the theme of reconciliation and union.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
