[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2557207, member: 112"]When will modern coins and currency become valuable? Sounds like a simple question but it's actually not. First of all how do define modern, and secondly how do you define valuable ? But I do get the drift of your question. For the answer, no matter who you are or what your personal opinion is, simply go backwards a bit and consider coins that you do not define as modern and look at them. Are they what you define as valuable ? Every coin no matter how old it is was at one time "modern" and had no value over and above its intended value. And yet look at where they are today. And no, those that are valuable are not valuable because of what they made of, they are valuable because people desire them. There are forms of money that were not made of gold, silver, or copper and yet today they are quite valuable. This is the nature of things, the nature of history, the nature of people. So yes, at some point in time today's money will be considered valuable. But nobody knows when that will be.[/QUOTE]
