<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 216290, member: 4552&quot;]Most people are what is know as pack rats. People just like to say this is MINE and about anything or everything. Ever notice how many little kids learn that word so fast? MINE, MINE, MINE. As to why coins? I think that really started as far back as thier was a monitary system and people just wanted to feel wealthy so they hoarded anything that resembled money. Couldn&#039;t trust banks a few thousand years ago. During our depression almost everyone strived to save anything that even resembled money. Such things started coin collecting as well as stamps, currency, jewlry, Gold, Silver, etc. Then there is just collecting STUFF which so many are guilty of. That is why shows like the antique road show is so popular. Same with flea markets, garage/yard sales, estate sales. Find a coin collector and they probably collect other things also. The bigger the house and/or garage, the more STUFF we all try to put in them. Wall to wall STUFF. Many times on these forums you hear what else do you collect and you get all sorts of answers pending on what a person can afford mostlly. With me it&#039;s coins, knives, spears, archery equipment, Hot Wheel cars, flashlights, full size cars, science books such as chem, math, astronomy,etc. </p><p>What a time someone will have cleaning up all this STUFF after I&#039;m gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
