I am addicted, and many people I know online are totally aware of this.

Aside from my family, not many in the real world are, however.

You'd think women would love the coinaholic,
Afterall a coin collector is never broke!LoL
I must admit though that my late husband would stop traffic to pick up a penny and I just thought,OMG and laugh!
Now,he'd laugh at me as he said"Toldya!"

Every time I go to the po box, My wife says...you must be waiting for something.

I think the only intervention with my collection is going to be a casket and an auctioneer. (hopefully not for a really long time)

As with most addictions, you need to rid yourself of the temptations. I will be glad to share my mailing address and you all can send me your coins and remove the temptation. You can see that I am in total denial.

After reading the above reply from mrwhisker, I just chuckled. My wife would also ask what I was waiting on when I would go to the po box. Now, I have started going all of the time so that it will just seem normal. I am not hiding, I am just timing. yea that's it

Of course coins could be sort of just a start of something even worse. Why you could become a Hot Wheel Car collector, a Beanie Babie collector, Baseball/Football card collector and on and on and on and.............

Being adicted to coins is nice, because it tends to calm one down, especially if the wife has some nasty chores for you to do. now if my collection consisted of pretty young things, I'm sure my wife would not understand!, then again, on second thought....

My wife will probably have them come with straight jacket to take me away. She thinks roll hunting is nuts!

I am not addicted to coins. I am addicted to sexy coins. All that know me in the real world, ask me what sexy coin I have on me at the moment. ( I do not wear any coin jewelry) for some strange reason I am attracted to sexy coins, and have to have as many as I can get. So long story short I always seem to be carrying a new sexy coin.

Have one of your friends whine to your wife that you're spending too much time collecting coins and not enough at the bar drinking and chasing loose women with your buddies.
