Silver Dollars

Do any of you still have any silver dollars? I love seeing them, as well as the $2 bill. I think they are just cool. My mom always had an affection for money that was unique. Even the old wheat pennies. We would spot them and grab them up and save them. Did you  know the reason they came out with the state quarters was to increase coin collecting again? Did you see the movie Dear John? I read the book and watched the movie. I enjoyed the take on John's dad being a collector of coins. I've never seen silver bullion or some of the many unique coins out there in person but have seen them on TV or online. I suppose I have my mother to thank for giving me this affection. Not everyone cares about cool or unique coins. Chris has a few silver coins that his dad gave to him years ago. I know they are worth more than their face value, but like most collectors, you aren't in it to sell and make money, you are in it to admire the history and enjoy the journey of where they came from and where it's going!
