<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Simms, post: 887670, member: 24789&quot;]As for me in this stage of life at 24, my wife would get all the coins.&nbsp; When we first got together she already had a little collection of her own that have now been melded together with mine.&nbsp; As for down the road, I collect for a rainy day if I need a large sum of money at once and have no other options. Its basically a bunch of coins for savings that I also derive pleasure from holding and viewing.&nbsp; My collection started at the age of 11 when my grandmother gave me a few coins of her own that she had found over the years in pocket change.&nbsp; Just this last weekend at a family event that I rarely ever get the chance to attend due to work, I showed her my albums with some of her coins floating around in them as well.&nbsp; She stated, out of all the grand kids, I guess I gave them to the right one, and I have a few more for you next time you visit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I hope my children could gain an appreciation for these coins, and if not, perhaps their kids might like grandpas coins, and I could give them all to them.&nbsp; I like to think like the buddhists, nothing is forever, not even this planet and all its precious coins and lives.&nbsp; Sure this is a long time off, but in another few billion years the sun will grow in size and our seas will boil off, then the earth will be consumed by the sun. Man I just love astronomy/natural sciences/history!&nbsp; They can really put this world into prospective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
