Do You Stack?

[S.Peelman]

Not really, and I know this isn’t what the thread is really about but I have accumulated a fairly decent stack of coins during my life until now.

It’s not an active hobby, or even really a hobby at all, and I don’t have something that’s actually worth anything, but I just always keep everything. I got them all from simply going on vacation, but also hand-me-downs, gifts (because “(I) collect coins”), or because I keep older coins I get through paying for things and coins that are discontinued. I have a lot of old coins from my own country and of other European countries and plenty of other countries from around the world. Even banknotes. I also have first-edition Euros still sealed, special edition silver coins, a bronze Roman coin and more.

The peculiar thing is, I also seem to have coincidentally collected a bunch of coins and notes from shady regimes and with dictators on them. People like Mussolini and Saddam Hussein… It makes me still want a Nazi-German coin, even though Hitler isn’t actually on those, just to complete the ‘set’ so to say. I swear this doesn’t say anything about me as a person.
