pF> My son has started collecting coins. My father passed along a collection of
pF> turn of the 20th century pennies, nickels and dimes he collected as a kid,
pF> and I've got an assortment of old silver coins, new minted silver, and
pF> copper. I really like some of the Lakota copper coins, apparently they're
pF> used as legal tender.
That's good, that's how it's done. If I recall, my Dad passed me some of his
coins which got me fired up to complete his penny collection... and I did. It
would be nice to see some of the younger generation take up collecting but I get
a sense that they don't. I mean, even collecting comic books even isn't a thing.
Your coin collection, I'm assuming you have them in plastic sleeves or
something? It's funny, a lot of coins if the same size and colour could be
passed as legal tender. One time, I received a coin from Jamaica as it was
passed off as a quarter. I never passed it on since I collect lol. Thanks.
