I decided to make a top 10 list that you are obsessed with coins. Its tailored towards Canadian collectors and some lines are lame but I hope it gives some of you a laugh....
10. A major newspaper headline reads 'business strike' and you take pride in coin news going main stream.
9. You can name all the Monarchs in order and the years they reigned but could not do the same for the Prime Ministers
8. You can't understand why the wife is mad when you ask her who has a nicer bust, Victoria or Elizabeth
7. A buddy offers to buy you a round and you are upset when he gives you a beer
6. Tears of joy come to your eyes when you find a box in your teenager's room labeled 'Tokin stash'. Sure, its mis-spelled but your happy they are following in your footsteps!
5. It never occurred to you that your Canadain coin refernce book was written by a Charleton
4. While camping, you overhear that there is a pile of fishscales on the dock so you excitedly run over there with a pack of mylar coin holders...
3. Your Uncle tells you he bought an 11-year-old mule for his farm and you ask him how a Nunavut Toonie is used in farming
2. An ailing friend calls you up and happily announces that he does not have MS. Your first thought is to ask him what year he wants it for and you'll give it to him.
1. You named your Daughter Penny and your son Troy Edited by laconic

11. You change doctors because your previous doctor was just MD. 12. You see a sign that says "Dr. Wiles, DDO", then realize you just walked into a dentist's office. |

I wish coins were my only obession.
every conversation ends with a business card that says "I buy coins" piggy banks, change jars, rolled coins exchanged for cash.
True story and now you know part of how I always have hundreds of dollars in coins to search.

I like #7.
One sign is when you swear to slow down on your coin purchases, and then you spend more than ever.

I heard this on a forum:
You go around the house grading random objects from 1 to 70. The dog got an XF-40.

When you're introduced to someone the first thing you ask is "Can I look through your loose change?"

Is that a bank roll in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? :)

I find myself trying to look inside every cash register I go to in stores for possible coins.

Yea, and then the cashier gets really awkward and thinks you are planning on robbing them. I have had that one before.

When everything you buy, no matter what it is, you think.....WHAT COIN COULD I HAVE BOUGHT WITH THAT MONEY?
