    I don't shower or change clothes for 3 days before attending a coin show. image

    PVC is notoriously environmentally unfriendly, as are most plastics used for coins.

    I once drove to a coin show in a Prius.

    It was a car from work, and I hated it.

    I think the smelting and minting of coins creates additional carbon dioxide which plants love and it makes them greener.
    Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

    I reuse all the packing material -- bubble wrap, cardboard holders, etc...just not the styrofoam peanuts which I hate (and recycle in garbage).

    Anyone know if TPG slabs are recyclable? I've been tossing the cracked ones in the regular garbage.

    Isn't it about time for all this green nonsense to abate? Global warming is a farce. Of course, we should all be good stewards, and I am. However, this nonsense is getting ridiculous. Sorry, but every once in a while, I just get fed up with the 'cause of the day'. Cheers, RickO

    Next time I go to a coin show, I'm taking my gas guzzling SUV. image

    I like coins in OGH's.
    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.
