I know how that feels. At one time or another, I was collecting either Beanie Babies, Pokemon cards, coins, video games or Gundam models. Now I'm collecting ammo, and it's probably the cheapest ($25 USD for a prototype British military cartridge that never, ever made it past the state arsenals? Hell yeah!) and easiest out of all of them. |

Man I should totally get back into coin collecting just to get all of the state quarters. I have an old, old binder for those things that the US Mint made when they were starting that line. |

Heh. I'd collect more things, myself, if I had the money...

 I'm so glad to be home. 
I thought there was a little leaf or something on the kitchen floor, so I flicked it with my toe. Turns out it was a silverfish, and I mortally wounded it. Poor thing.

I once found a toonie (erm, $2 coin) on the ground. That's not an everyday occurrence. Normally it's pennies or dimes.

I have a ton of $2 bills tucked away back when I was collecting money. |

5554 | Wow, forgot all about these two-way FRS radios I found... anyone know if these require a license or not?

Ah, yes... that's the kind. Thanks for the info, Joe

Really? I find loonies and toonies all the time.
Do you occasionally see a talking, anthropomorphic rabbit as well? |

I probably don't find loonies/toonies because other people pick them up.
Plus if I go downtown... beggars have a sixth sense for those coins.

I ignore them as much as possible. Problem is that nobody asks NICELY anymore...
