<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KenTheDiver, post: 4795013, member: 114493&quot;]I’m all about the strange, low mint, funny-at-times/beautiful-at-others, exotic coins that are being made in those lands!&nbsp; It is a great way to get my kids into the hobby, they are a fun break from “another eagle,” and they are already incredibly rare with mintages of 1,000 to 5,000 out of the gate!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is also a perfect meshing of geekdoms (trekkies, comic nuts, mythology buffs, D&amp;D-ers, coin folk and Americana freaks - all have their own geekdom, like kingdom).&nbsp; For me, I love all of that stuff and truly appreciate that there are now coins that bring the many &amp; uniquely different nerd varieties together. I am a nerd, dont take offense - none meant.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, go get your Spider Man Mask, figure 8 dragon, mandala art piece or Bottle cap and enjoy some time sharing your hobby with your date or some potential future coin enthusiasts.&nbsp; They might enjoy those strange new Cook Islands (Aussie, Fiji, wherever else you go) coins more than your other coins - it could be the link, or gateway drug, for more coin collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I take them seriously, enjoy the, thoroughly and welcome more like them.&nbsp; I looked on as we all watched these roll out - many of us scoffed at the idea of owning any of them.&nbsp; Any people who have been paying attention from the sidelines are probably kicking themselves for not getting involved, to be frank.&nbsp; I am a believer, have been sold, somehow I am one to buy those issues (didnt start off that way, started with opinions like many of yours - so I get all that, too).</p><p><br /></p><p>Why don’t the US government mints get on board and start making some fun, low mint stuff that turns heads?&nbsp;&nbsp; It would be a great addition.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first post - so now I run for cover (joke)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
