<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7940627, member: 19463&quot;]This post has illustrated the connection between coins and purses.&nbsp; At various times in their lives, both my wife and daughter crafted bags of some sort using fabric or leather designing them to fill a need in their lives.&nbsp; Neither ever owned an expensive bag. Elementary school teachers and librarians accessorize differently than socialites and Red Carpet actresses.&nbsp; I have seen other men&#039;s wives carrying purses much less practical and much more expensive.&nbsp; I got lucky.&nbsp; I had an aunt who carried what was akin to a suitcase for a purse until she was too old to bear the weight and asked her younger sister to carry it for her.&nbsp; I found this site on purses interesting:</p><p><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/most-expensive-luxury-handbags-hermes-birkin-chanel-louis-vuitton" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/most-expensive-luxury-handbags-hermes-birkin-chanel-louis-vuitton" rel="nofollow">https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/most-expensive-luxury-handbags-hermes-birkin-chanel-louis-vuitton</a></p><p>I strongly suspect your wife might like one of the purses shown there more than would the women in my family.&nbsp; I also doubt she would feel the urge to modify that purse or take off the labels.&nbsp; One of our long time friends on CT, Jamesicus, showed his &#039;manpurse&#039; which he wore around his waist to contain his collection of 20 favorite coins wherever he went so he could handle them whenever the urge struck.&nbsp; From our standards, that was the ultimate in practical purses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Somehow I doubt that your life would be improved by sharing this post with your wife.&nbsp; We are all different.&nbsp; I know men who want a sports car (attracts younger women?) and a fancy truck (too clean for hauling).&nbsp; Others are happy with a Prius (easy on gas) or a beat up pick-up (great for mulching the flowerbeds).&nbsp; I take my coin photos with a camera and lens that cost more than any coin I own.&nbsp; People! We are a strange bunch![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
