<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8153810, member: 118780&quot;]1. You consider medieval coins as modern.</p><p>2. When someone hands you a bunch of coins as change, you need to mentally convert them to drachmas/denarii.</p><p>3. When watching movies based on ancient Rome/Greek you explain &quot;hey! I have that guy!&quot;</p><p>4. You grow mushy whenever you see the number 323.</p><p>5. Your partner tells you to stop buying coins, so you pick up some obols and hemiobols.</p><p>6. You plan social engagements around auctions.</p><p>7. You&#039;ve calculated the value of your home in talents.</p><p>8. You&#039;ve also calculated it in sestertii.</p><p>9. You add &quot;CE&quot; to dates on all your checks.</p><p>10. You can point out where ten cities that no longer exist are on a map, but you need a GPS to find your own house.</p><p>11. When travelling in Europe, you&#039;re disappointed that medieval villages don&#039;t have older buildings.</p><p>12. Your friends insist your entire collection is fake.</p><p>13. When you hold your coins, you have to do it in private because you get all giddy at holding 2000 years of history in your palm.</p><p>14. You know the exact time the mail man delivers your mail.</p><p>15. Guests are warned before entering your home by your spouse/partner to not mention anything about ancient history.</p><p>16. There are subtle groans and cries from your family when a guest responds that he/she hasn&#039;t seen your coins yet.</p><p>17. You have to remind yourself at New Years that the years are increasing now.</p><p>18. You can convert to pounds, Euros, CHF, and CAD at a whim, but you need a calculator to figure out tips.</p><p>19. The first thing you do when you wake up is check out the coins that were listed overnight.</p><p>20. You normalize the spellings of Greek places/names to your own preference, but get annoyed at sites that use a different orthography.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obligatory coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1422545[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
