I know we all collect coins, but now I'm interested in what else a coin collector does. What are your other passions?

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.

In Poland, prostitution is not exactly legal, but it is accepted, and agencies advertise by slipping a business card-sized "calling card" on people's cars. These colorful little leaflets are great artwork, and for a couple years I developed an extensive collection of them (which is, I'm sure, the best and most unique collection around, as I started in 1999, when these agencies were developing their marketing skills, and some were using xerox copies. Now the business has developed, and the cards are much higher quality, so I think my collection, which contains the older style cards, is unique). If anyone is interested in buying the whole collection from me for $250 (plus shipping), please PM me.

Also like Dog97, I collect BIG Bore guns. I have a 3 inch barrel derringer that shoots a single 45-70 and I also have a AR-15 that is converted to shoot a 50AE. I would love to own a 50BMG rifle.
I just returned to Detroit from Minnesota after driving 1440 miles in 24 hours. I picked up a VERY RARE 1967 Mustang Coupe for a buddy of mine, that has the GT HI-PO option. They only made "77" Coupes in 1967 that had this option. VERY RARE!!!!!!

I never knew such a thing even existed.
I do like old books from poetry to New York history and collect old medicinal snake oil cure bottles and any books new and old that relate to coins tokens and paper money.
I also like collecting old postcards of my home town and any old artifacts that have an interesting story to tell.

While I don't collect cars, my car is a rather big hobby of mine...
My latest collection appears to be daughters. I got one that I'm sure would certify MS70, and another in production. (I plan to take delivery sometime in January...)

I also play the djembe drum. It's an african drum and a blast to play.

We practice 1 evening a week - yep - guitar and lead vocals. i would rate us about a "c" band - we have most of the licks down but just can't seem to get it perfect. Of course, with a once a week practice - what can you expect? I'm headed to practice in about 40 min.
Long and straight, huh? I could use some of that next week - we are having an "old fart" vs. 'old timers" golf tourney down in Biloxi , Miss. Just 4 of us though - 2 OF's and 2 OT's - one of which is my Dad. Last time they took us on - they beat us fair and square over 54 holes of play. Next week's going to be just 36 holes but my buddy and I have really been practicing lately.
I have the long part down - the straight I am still workin on.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

Spear fishing and snatching a lobster now and then for dinner is an added bonus.
