The Eagle Has Flown

I keep every coin I get - We just got the full (current) Presidential sets, the State Qtrs (both sets, both P & D minting) and both the DC & Territories Set and the National Parks. They claim that they are going to release the rest of the Presidential coins.
Anyway I roll them all - pennies, nickels, dimes & quarters (separating between the State and regular) - to go with all the sets and coins I have - they are metal (of some sort, much less than they used to be) and may be the only ‘legal tender’ left in the near & dear future. Besides a good coin collection is a nice thing to have - got started by my brothers God-father who gave him silver dollars for his birthday - and gave me one every year. They are now worth a lot more than a dollar.
But yes - since about 2007 the coins have become more and more junk than they used to be. Have you seen those scummy Titanic $2.00 bills - like those worthless Obama Quarters - how can people even think a defaced coin/bill is worth a plug nickel is beyond me - you’d be better off buying a commemorative plate. It is a shame how the crapweasels in DC demean and destroy everything of value.
Too damn bad I had to sell my Krugerrands - now they’d be worth a pretty penny (well a thousand plus pretty pennies).
