RoyCoinBoy, with that last post making me almost fall off my seat laughing.

But seriously you can tell I am an addicted when you get me
started about people who save copper pennies.

I mean they hoard them WOW. How many of them are worth much
more?

As an addict - I get angry when someone collects pennies for
copper instead of Numismatics value should be added to this
list.

When you think of every purchase in terms of coins!

"Gee do I really want this new pair of work boots when I could get four silver dollars instead!"

Sets down boots back on store rack and heads off to the coin shop.

When you take a picture of this old used koozie at Goodwill...

When-You-Know-You're-An-Addict

...because you instantly thought of this:

When-You-Know-You're-An-Addict

I did not buy it, however.

I will admit, I thought the exact same thing when I saw that picture.

And no, I am not ashamed.

You know your an addict when you go to your friends house (who doesn't know anything about coins) and sitting there in the corner of his living room is a Alhambra 5 gallon water jug stuffed to the top with pennies and all you can think about for the next two hours is " Think man, there's gotta be a way to get this out of here without being seen"!

Next time bring a hand truck. Make a bet: whoever can guess closest to how many coins are in there gets to keep the whole lot and then count them out together.

Akin to USSID18, you know you're an addict when:

You slow down slightly but noticeably and stare longingly and, somewhat painfully, as you pass these:
