<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 171274, member: 3011&quot;]&quot;My coin question now. In your opinion what percentage of households in the world have at least one coin collector. I would consider a collection to be five or more coins and the household can be a large extended family or as small as one person.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s tough to determine.&nbsp; If there are about 6 billion people, and perhaps an average of 4 people per extended household, that would equal about 1.5 billion households or about 150 million &quot;collections&quot; world-wide.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know any family [even the families that don&#039;t consider themselves collectors] that doesn&#039;t have a few coins that are saved for sentimental reasons or because they were grandpa&#039;s or because they are silver or because they are wheat cents or because they are state quarters or because they were picked up traveling in another country or whatever other reason they have been saved other than for spending on next week&#039;s groceries.&nbsp; I would think there are probably 150 million people in the USA alone that have at least 5 coins saved for some reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe I misunderstand the question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
