Is anyone here going to collect (or already is collecting) the US Presidential “Gold” $1 Coins? I’m still unsure. 
The Star Swordsman - Yeah, I always get a thrill out of looking through my extra change. (heheh)
A113 - I think my mom got a couple of those and then gave them to me – that’s the most collecting we’ve done as far as those particular coins go. (snigger)

My twin brother gets a thrill collecting Japanese stuff.
Coins! I hadn’t thought about that. I do collect coins, mainly European ones but any other currencies that I collect on my travels, really. I’ve got coins from seven different countries now; not exactly a sizeable collection, but it’s difficult to keep it growing with the Euro taking over.
I also have an American dollar from when I went to the Carribean. I’m so fascinated by the American currency- the notes are so long and narrow and green! They look just like the ones you get in Lego sets. 
I went to Asia about 4 years ago, and I think my parents bought back a little bit of their currency when we got back home. I believe it was a couple pesos from the Phillipines.
