<p>[QUOTE="OldSilver, post: 1163525, member: 30146"]I think people hoard as to feel a sense of knowledge. Coin collectors know a lot about coins and currency so when we see a half dollar or two dollar bill, since we know ten times more about them than laymen we get a feeling of nostalgia and we want to keep that feeling so we hold onto the coins and two dollar bills. They are still worth fifty cents or two dollars in the general public but to us it is a sense of specialty knowing that we are among the few people who actually know, in depth, about them. Take pennies for example. When people see The new dezign introduced in 2010 they might think oh thats cool, and then they go and spend it. But to us we see it as a new variety and since we know the years and years of history behind the lincoln cent, we (or me atleast) want to keep them and cherrish them.</p><p><br /></p><p> -Ryan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
