Coin Collections

LMAO, what's a "Ciagrses" Solo? :wink:

And yeah, that was my guess as well.

I think you should save all your money. Someday it'll be worth something.

Some one had a currency collection...once upon a time.

I worked at In-N-Out burger for a while and some kid came in with a bunch of friends and ordered about $150 in food and paid with all $5 bills. I noticed, as soon as he handed me the first one, the Blue seal and not the normal green seal. Ding Ding Ding...Silver certificates. Since it was payday and I had cashed my check earlier that day. I promptly swaped my money for the money he had paid with. Went to London Coin and traded it the next day for roughly $10 on the dollar...Roughly $1500 for this kid to steal his dad's silver certificates and buy food for a bunch of friends.

I've collected coins since I was about 7 yrs old. (I'm 51 now). It's a fairly eclectic collection and nothing really valuable. Lots of silver coins, silver certificate bills, morgan dollars. Liberty dollars, and other oddities.

I've been buying intact uncirculated rolls of all the new style state quarters and the presidential dollars since they started making them. Two rolls of each, one for each of my kids for when they get older.

Ummm...are we still talking coins Eric? lol.

Absolutely. And it has nothing to do with cigars...

I have many $1 silver certificates, $2 red seal dollars and a McKinley.

I have some coins, most of my collection are coins from around Eroupe before converting to the Euro. And I have silver coins from the 50's and some commemrative silver coins.

[Eric]

No, paper money.

Ever since I started buying pricey consumables (cigars, pipes, wine, etc) ... my currency "collection" has gone downhill fast.
