<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 3915546, member: 102103&quot;]I like to collect coins because they combine a lot of different interests of mine--chemistry, history, economics, foreign languages and so on.&nbsp; They are also some of the cheapest and easiest to obtain antique objects which connect us to the past.&nbsp; They are much easier to store and hold their value pretty well compared to many collectibles. I especially like coins from short-lived political units or that show history of wars, crises and inflation.&nbsp; I collect all sorts of world coins indiscriminately, mostly from 1700-1950.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1032044[/ATTACH]</p><p>Above:&nbsp; A Queen Anne 1711 shilling made into a love token by engraving the initials of the lovers on the obverse.&nbsp; I love these small windows into the lives of people from so long ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
