<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1620681, member: 26302&quot;]But I don&#039;t see the &quot;throughput&quot;. What I mean is most kids have hobbies while young, give them up, and then some come back to them. If they come back depends on the hobby. Not as many take up comic book or baseball card collecting as hobbies like coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I simply do not believe the number of kids putting aside state quarters means we will have a large influx of serious coin collectors in a decade or two. If it did, it would have meant there would have been astronomical amounts of new collectors in the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s who collected wheat cents and buffalo nickels from change in the 60&#039;s when coin collecting was very popular. I view the state quarter program similarly, meaning more will never come back to coin collecting as adults than usual. </p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, I predict 10 to 20 years from now, assuming we still use coins, we will have about the same numbers of collectors as today. MAYBE the &quot;average collector&quot; will have relatively less money to spend on the hobby, I am not sure, but I think numbers of collectors will be similar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
