Old play money is still collectable, though because they're not "real coins" they tend to be shunned by mainstream coin collectors. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
