True. I certainly benefited from one of your sales!

You know you're addicted when you start buying Fostoria coin glass at yard sales.

You know you're a coin addict when:

You spend more money on coins in a semester than on school.


But don't worry, I always make it back and more.

You know you're addicted when you already spent your annual coin budget through July and still have your eyes set on a bunch of other coins but have no funds to buy them

You know you're addicted when you luckily get to an empty register line at the grocery store ....
and until you decide what bills and change to part with,
this is how things look behind you.

When these coins are laying on your counter for months because they might be useful for reference at some unknown point and you can't bring yourself to throw them away:

And you photograph them, including closeups.

You might be addicted if you intentionally drop something
next to this total strangers feet,
When-You-Know-You're-An-Addict

bend over to pick it up,
and pretend to have a hard time standing back up again.

@TNG

Do you call them "cent loafers"? Or maybe you put nickels in them instead.

You know you are a coin addict when:
You dream about telling your boss one day ......
"I will take a 90% pay cut, if you pay me in 90% silver coins"

If I had a pair of "penny loafers", I would put the nickels in but they would be in
those Kointain capsules and the would be "full steppers"

I'm having waaaay too much fun in here.

Enjoying everyones posts ... keep em coming!

You know you just might be addicted when you automatically cringe at the way that nickel is held in spruett001's image and try to count the steps on that nickel by pressing

on your keyboard.
