I've been collecting old coins ever since I was a kid. And lately (oh, say since late summer of '01 or abouts) I've been collecting Roman coins. Wanna see?. This is another one of those hobbies with a high 'geek' factor. And let's not talk about that metal detector I've sitting in my closet! That has got to be the nerdiest thing I ever got into (although, grrr, I admit I still take it out a few times a year). I'm not sure when I'm going to snap out of these pursuits. I can always tell myself that the coins are an investment. Someday I might believe it too!
