<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1471792, member: 5233"]I see what the OP is trying to say...but it's really not practical nor does it really make sense. Firstly, these coins you are talking about...many of them were minted by the millions and are not rare in anyway. Those that are worth being collected probably already are in collections somewhere. Sure, a few rarities may have slipped through the cracks but for the most part we are talking about "junk." Sure, some should be saved as historical artifacts but we don't need to save them all. Our collections preserve those that we want to save. Plus, the value of the metal can be put towards other things and help drive the economy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using this same logic, we shouldn't have any of the worn out dollar bills shredded. They are pieces of history too. Can you imagine what that would be like? The world would be piled full of old worn out bills. It just doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
