<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 287652, member: 9167&quot;]Huh...and all this time I thought I was collecting world coins. Since when did the US declare independence from the world? Must have been when I was on vacation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>US coins are just as significant as any other coin from any other era. They all were a part of a world history that is still in the making. As fascinating as a 2000 year old Greek or Roman coin may be, and yes, I do own a few only because they were given to me, they have very little historical validity to me as an individual. I&#039;m not Greek or Roman, or Bisintine...I&#039;m American. I appreciate ancient history, as you cannot begin to understand US history without a general understanding of the history of Europe and Asian.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, if I were to find some Chinese coin forum and ask them why they don&#039;t collect US coins...why they only collect Chinese coins from the last 8000 years, it would be just as rediculous as coming to a US coin forum and belittling those that collect US coins. It&#039;s such simple logic.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
