At least with coins you'll get something back at some point. It's better than hoarding pets or bottles or magazines, you get the point. So I say hoard till your hearts content!

To be honest, I think it is always a good idea to hoard money.  Adam |

I have a garage and a room in the basement that could probably qualify for a segment of that TV show HOARDERS. ( not really ) The rest of the house is in pretty nice order except that stuff over there.  I'll probably never get rid of ALL this stuff. There was a time when I owned a bread van and bought a country church that closed up and filled them with stuff. Coins are smaller and I sold a lot of antiques and stuff at auction. I am returning to an antique shop in September and loading up a case there. Most of my stuff these days is a lot smaller than a breadbox so I am going to move my extras out that way. I guess it's OK to hoard if it doesn't interfere with your health, your responsibilities or your sanity. I think I did all this hoarding and collecting to someday have stuff to sell so I would have enough money when I got older and so not to worry. I think I did it because I had a fear of needing something. I really don't remember ever really needing a thing for the past 25 years except more space, time and energy. Now I am afraid it just doesn't really matter anymore.  Edited by TNG

You should hoard all the pennies you can find, and use the corroded nasty ones to pay your parking tickets and taxes.

I never hoard. When I get for example commemorative €2 coin worth maybe €2,50 I just spend it. Maybe someone young collector will get it for next time and become very happy about it. I just don't want that there lies dublicates around my desks, shelves and floors. When I get a dublicate which is worth of selling I just sell it and buy something what I don't already have. That's my philosophy |

I suppose I qualify as a hoarder, since I have never sold a coin. I also keep all nickels and copper cents. (Although I justify this by saying that I am saving them for my son to search through one day!) |

Hoarding money? Sounds to me your just saving up for a rainy day? Keep at it you can never have to much. Money!

I hoard cents in a very bad way. But at some point, they'll be sold for the other items I need.

This sort of depends on what you call hoarding. I voted no. However, just what is really hoarding? For example I can't stop adding Albums to my collection. Although completed many of them, I continue on with new ones of the same type. For example I'm now on set #12 of Mercury dimes. Does this constitute hoarding of Mercury dimes or is this just collecting them. Same with many other types of coins. I really don't think of massive amounts of Albums as hoarding, just collecting. |

I've read some comments and have a thought. Hoard money, some say. I guess it depends on what you're collecting. I'm a hardcore darksider with most of the coins in my collection obsolete, I see no point of hoarding.
