can you call yourself a collector if you don't own one of these?

Agree as long as you wear it on the bourse floor but if you left the show, would you wear it outside?

if we wear one of the 1933 $20 that reads, "I own one, do you"
will the government fine us?

I've got a couple of similar shirts that are paper-money related and they are fun to wear at shows but, you're right, I don't wear them out "on the street".

Yea I would. I does not mean I own high end coins and even coins. I see people wearing shirts for cars and other things, doesn't it mean they own them. I take my precautions and keep my coins in safe places, not near me. I don't worry about people seeing me at shows and things like that. I do understand we all take security differently.
on the opposite end of the spectrum, maybe a shirt with a safety deposit box would be more effective, but perhaps less fun
unless you cognitively enjoy silently snickering at the people you think would normally rob you if they could figure out what the rectangular box was and what it housed

<< <i>well it's obvious that they need to change the design on these shirts to also include a graphic of a firearm so that they will not be a security issue. >>
hahah good one

Paranoia will destroy ya.
Sure, it's good to be security conscious, but ... to worry about wearing a Morgan dollar tee-shirt? Puh-lease.
It's a little loud, don't you think? I might like it if the coin image were reduced to life size and put it on the breast or sleeve, with the reverse words below it. I'd also choose a different coin.
As it is the shirt screams "geek" to me.

If that screams "geek", wait'll you get a load of this.

The only coin shirt I've ever liked said "I used to have sense. Now I have coins."
And to the response above...
Why, yes, I do believe I can.

short, sweet and to the point
good thing you weren't the first to respond since i'd then have to add this thread to all the other threads that failed so quickly and miserably leaving me to wonder for days why my awesome
post didn't receive a sufficient amount of replies

What, you mean I ain't the only person here who launches dud threads?

I know what you mean. Sometimes I think I should change my forum name to "thread killer" since I'll post to a thread and then it drops off the front page into oblivion.

I thought that one person had the shirt on backwards. It looked funny at first.
