Your post was one of those one wants to jump in from the very title. Of course, if you are into collecting coins and that kind of stuff.
I was so excited and sadat the same time. During the time I spent in the State doing grad school work I fell in love with hwat the USMint has been doing over the decades.
First of all, it is admirable the way the US dollar has kept its preeminence around the world and they have turnedthat currency, so hated in many places due to ideological issues, into a work of art.
I started collecting the series or the quarters representing each state. I was able to complete two sets and I wanted to go visit the mints. Unfortunatelly I wasn't unable to.
The sad part is that due to the crisis we have gone through over the last decade, I was forced to sell most of my coins at nominal value.
I hope one day things change here and I can get the hell out and be able to rebuild my coin collection.
It was great reading all that amazing information about the whole process and all the details involved (especailly the legal ones) in the creation of the incredible collections they have made available to people.

I am so sorry to hear you had to sell your coins. I can only imagine the difficulties in your county. I hope recovery comes quickly and that you are able to recoup your losses.
Thank you. I hope at lest my children can collect one day whatever they feel like collecting without the fear of having to sell their treasures out of financial pressure.
