A hundred years from now when we are gone do you think new collectors are going to care about a 1974 d nickel, 1980 dime or any coins minted after 1933. What do you think coin collectors are going to collect. Can you imagine a PCGS "doiley holder" in 3008?

The real question is, what will the era of coins minted from 1938 on be called... at that age, they can't be called "modern" anymore.

Stephen Hawking said it best, "we will consume and deplete, ourselves to extinction".
He estimates in 500 years all human existance will be wiped off the Earth.
First Strike, Carol J, DMPL, Early Release, 07 Reverse, will mean nothing.

Dang Scott... that was downer!
A '74-D nickel isn't all that much more common in unc than a '50-D nickel
but guuess which sells for more. There are lots of collectors for 1938-'64
nickels but few for the later dates. In fact there are far more nice looking
'50-D nickels than nice looking '74-D's.
My prediction is that all this will become apparent in the near future. The
composition of the current nickelk will change and the FED will remove and
destroy the circulated coins. This will make them neither rare nor relatively
rare because 5c is so little money that many owners won't bother with them.
Many of these will be put in the gargage stream and attrition will go up even
from current levels but the base number is so high that they will remain com-
mon in circulated condition. People are so easy to predict. Within weeks af-
ter the old coins are gone they'll start wanting to collect the old coins because
they're nostalgic for them. Prices will soar especially for the tougher issues.
This will lend attention to the clad coins which tend to be much scarcer still.
In a thousand years these things will be "a dime a dozen". They'll be much
"tougher" than today but there will be too few people who care. Preserva-
tion techniques are better now days and will likely improve further. While
gems might actually be scarce after 1000 years the few collectors for these
won't be concerned much with grade.
In the mean time it's safe to predict the coins will be up and down.

<< <i>Of the money of America little need be said here. Neither the coinages of the Spanish and Portugues dependencies, and of the states which succeeded them, nor those of the English colonies and of the United States, present much that is worthy of note. In style they all resemble those of the parent countries, but, originating in the decline of art, they are inferior in style and work. They are most remarkable in the south for the abundance of gold and silver. The chief coin is the dollar. Some coins are of historical interest, and there are a few rarities, such as the colonial money of Lord Baltimore struck for Maryland, the pine-tree coins of Massachusetts, and the hog-money of Bermuda. >>
Granted perspective is everything, but that is the sum total of this 38-page double-columned, 8-point article on "NUMISMATICS" that treats of the coinage of the New World. How much interest do you think an 1881-S Morgan, in any condition and of any color scheme, might have held to these authors?
See my point?

Based on the documentary I saw, mankind will be alive and stupid, drinking Brawndo and watching "Ow, My Balls!" That reminds me, did anyone watch the show "Wipeout" on ABC Tuesday? Looks like a live action Roadrunner cartoon from the advertisements.

There was a movie "Idiocracy" with Luke Wilson in it about this - is that your documentary?
It was very stupid yet quite funny!
