Hi. I just registered today.
My name isJeff. I'm 60 (soon to be 61) and married with 2 kids in their 30s. I'm originally from California but I have lived in Pennsylvania for almost all off my adult life (39 years).
I collect world type coins. I have about 1,600 of them from 196 countries.
I also have a small collection of US coins mainly pennies and nickels including a Whitman folder full of Liberty nickels that is 2 short of a complete set (missing only the 1885 and 1912-S).
Additionally, I have about 400 or so Canadian coins in Whitman folders (although I have no connection to Canada and have never been there, I have always liked Canadian coins).
I've been collecting off and on since I was 14. It all started when I saw an ad for 10 world coins for 10 cents in Parade Magaszine in 1977.

Let's see if I can make a reasonable estimate.
Serial Number: 03141879

Sticking to Federal Reserve Notes (green seal).
My Estimate: 1 chance in 99,999,999.

Actually slightly better than that.
Maybe 1 chance in 99,999,900.
