    Right now, I spend more time and definitely more money on coin collecting. I like swimming, fishing, boating, music, movies, hiking, running, biking, books, baseball, hockey, and much more, but I got tired of thinking of them. And a lot more I would like to try. I think everybody should have a hobby or interest. It makes life much more enjoyable.
