What do you like about this subject? I've collected World Coins and paper money for 40 years and hope to help others enjoy the hobby or learn more about what they have.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject I don't use the MS grading system for world coins.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? There's always something more to learn.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Coins have been around for about 2600 years. Will they survive the modern era of electronic transactions?
