I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    I myself am not in favor of polluting one of our most beautiful natural sites. But to each his own.

    I threw a coin off a mountain in the Alps, into a ravine at the bottom of a waterfall in Hawaii, and various other places.

    I've never thrown a coin into a hole that deep, but I've certainly dug myself into deeper ones.

    I wonder if the same old urban legend holds true there as for dropping a penny off the Empire State Building - - it will build up enough momentum to kill someone it lands on at the bottom............... :o;)

    My first visit to the US Mint and Franklin's grave (which is across the street from the Mint) was in 1973. People were placing cents on his grave even back then. I think the graveyard uses the funds to help pay for upkeep.

    I never knew his tombstone was cracked. That is sad.

    Nice photo! My favorite place I’ve visited.

    My only donation was at the gift shop and restaurant.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
