Have You Ever Gone Through Your Coin Collection And........

We forget about some of the coins we have. And some we try to forget we have them ;) Also we do have issues finding tubes or specific coins sometimes.

Funny because it is True, Josh.

OK I did that yesterday with a pen, I had a 2x2 in hand in need of a date and I was latterly looking all around the pen, it took a flashlight, I thought it had hit the floor but there is was dead center plain sight

Thanks all for the support and kind words. I always figure a 'GOOD' memory just means you remember the 'BAD' things that much more.

My coworkers tell me that I have a photographic memory and that they wish they could remember things like I do. I tell them that it can also be a curse. I remember good times in perfect clarity, but I can also remember bad, painful times.

Lately, my memory isn't as good as it used to be. I attribute that to a stressful job that I hate and can't escape from....

I can relate to both of these statements. I have a pretty good memory myself. I was talking to my parents to put some continuity to my earliest memories, and I found out that I have memories from before my first birthday and multitudes from before my parents divorced when I was three. Like some posters here, I can't forget a single coin that I bought and still have, although I sometime forget where I put them...

My memory helps with school, but, as Aslan said, recall is definitely more difficult. I forget simple things like my best friends' names for a short time, but they always come back. After that I probably won't forget them as I had been thinking about their names for a while, trying to remember them.
