I have been collecting coins and banknotes for about 4 or 5 years now, and I must say I really enjoy this great hobby.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">When my Dad was a teenager in the 70&#039;s he worked at his Uncles liquor store, and he would always get silver coins from the customers that came in, and he would get some old banknotes from customers also.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">About a 4 or 5 years ago, my Dad gave me those silver coins and old banknotes, and that&#039;s what got me hooked on collecting coins and banknotes. My Dad and my Grandmother and the two big reasons why I started collecting.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">Shortly before my Grandmother passed about 2 years ago, she found out that I collected coins and currency. So she gave me a big binder full of silver certificates, and red seal $2 dollar bills and some other old banknotes that she had saved over the years.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">I think I would be a good choice for the prize because, I really enjoy collecting and I meet a lot of nice and great people while doing this fun hobby.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: Blue">Although my collection may not be so big, it is a work in progress and each coin and banknote help make up my collection.
