How did the women in your life react when she found out about your passion for coin collecting?

Women at my office actually find it kinda cool they seem to really like to listen to stories about the hobby...I am in Human Resources...when I 1st told them I was like they will think I am young man in a old man's body...but no I go out to diner with some friends at the office and to my surprise they bring on the subject and I am not talking about some weird looking women...some of them are very attractive.
One of my ex girlfriends use to get pissed when I would be spending time with my hobby but I could not stand her anyway so it all worked out just fine and my marriage with coins continues till this very day!!! And for her well another one bites the dust...no big loss there!!!

Edit to add: I love to show folks coins....men or gals....try to set that "spark".
while i don't have anything really to contribute to this one, just wanted to say thanks as i got a good laugh from the irony of this inquiry.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Keeping the two separate allows me to remain straight.

Now that made me laugh.

As long as neither of us spends too much on our hobbies, we're good.

I've been happily divorced now for 15 years.
She has at least graduated to the level of just rolling her eyes when I write 5 figure checks out.
<< <i>Years ago my wife told me that I had to choose. It was either her or the coin collection. I still think about her from time to time. >>
Good for you! I traded in a well toned lady for a blast white Lady Liberty on a Morgan.
<< <i>my wife calls me a coin geek, and this the geek forum. She really does not understand coin collecting and, try as I might, she never will.

Ha, My wife calls me adorkable. She is really supportive of my hobby, as long as I don't talk to her about it.
She seems to trust that when I empty the bank account or max out the credit card, I'll pay it back.

Now that there is no wife there is a lot of coins and money to stay on the hunt.
She's never been a collector so I'm sure she thinks its sort of stupid. We don't really talk about it.

Well, just Love coins, period.
Weird thing, she doesn't complain much about the thousand dollars I spend on coins but she had something to say about that $69 soccer jersey I bought last week! Go figure...
My mom instead knows a lot about gold coins!

I'm rather new to these forums, but I'd imagine there are also many female numismatists out there. How does your husband/boyfriend react to your hobby?

When I explain the deep pockets are so I can carry more change and that the "lots of coins" refers to my near complete lincoln cent and statehood quarter albums they seem to lose interest.

As far as my hubby is concern, not that he has ever had a problem with my coin passion, but for anyone who has seen my hubby's garage (not to mention the side yard, back yard, and clubhouse) full of motorcycles, frames, tires, gas tanks, motors, parts, etc., knows that my hubby has no room to complain about my lil' ol' coins! Seriously, we live in an "American Pickers'" paradise!

I think I see a glint of surprise/happiness/pride/pleasure when she sees me hunched over the keyboard working on one of the posts for my rolling commem collection post. She is more into the history and research aspect of that and likes the fact that I take the time to do that when I can.
Love your story you have a very nice wife!!
Its worked out great as my father in law and I go to coin shows together whenever we can...
