<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 24880381, member: 43872&quot;]I don&#039;t collect modern coins that are produced to be expensive &quot;collectibles,&quot; including the Canadian gimmick coins, the American &quot;instant rarities,&quot; or small countries like Fiji that produce stuff just to sell to American, or other, &quot;collectors&quot; or &quot;investors,&quot; like having Elvis or Micky Mouse.&nbsp; These, in my opinion, are not coins, they are trinkets, even if given legal tender status.&nbsp; One exception:&nbsp; I try to collect coins from as many countries as I can, and sometimes a coin from a special issue like that is the only one I can get from that country.&nbsp; This sometimes happens when struggling would-be countries try to raise funds by selling these, even though they do not have any circulating coins to speak of at home.&nbsp; I also rarely will buy bullion coins that are not really, in my opinion, collectible coins, but only if the price is low and the precious metals market is such that I choose to buy bullion.&nbsp; I&#039;m not collecting those, just stacking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
