My kids found my old coin collection the other day and I reminded me that Iused to collect coins when I was a kid. I remember finding a 50-cent piece and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. 😂 Then I started looking for the Olympic 25-cent coins, the coloured quarters, and anything else that looked different from the normal change in my pocket. I even remember the 1-cent coin with the dove on the back. For some reason, I thought that one was really cool. Anthing I found instead of spending it, I’d put it away. Looking back, I guess I’ve always been a little weird about money. I liked finding something, keeping it, and watching my little collection grow. Fast forward 20-something years and I’m basically doing the same thing… just with ETFs and investments instead of coins. 😂 I get the same satisfaction from seeing my investment account grow as I used to get from finding a cool coin. I guess ive never really seen money as something I need to spend just because I have it. Since we are all investors on Blossom, curious if anyone else collected money and coins as well? haha

For me it was the Canadian Tire Money , I remember just collecting it and throwing it around thinking I was a big spender

I have money from probably 50-60 countries from my Navy days. Some of the currencies don’t exist anymore and haven’t for years/decades.

I buy rolls of .50 cent coins and give them out to people I know, sparks a great conversation! Most people have never heard of or seen a .50 cent coin. Still don’t love seeing Charles on them but not much of a choice.
