Those are so cool! I started getting interested in them also when I used some to make jewelry (did NOT damage the coins!), and discovered that the common ones are VERY affordable. It is so cool to have something so old, and it got me into reading about the various Roman emperors..
There are definitely some affordable ones out there. Unfortunately there are also some that go into the hundred's of thousands of dollars. If I ever hit the lottery I might go for those higher levels ones but i'm content with the ones I get. Have to admit though that some of the early Celtic copies are pretty good as well though I haven't purchased any of those yet. The subject imagery on them is a great doorway into not only the rulers but also the mythology, beliefs and even religious aspects.

I guess I left this one out, but I also collect art. Not priceless art from Mr. So and So, but I seek art from people I know, who draw or paint. I have paintings and drawings that date back to my middle school period. I've kept everything. Which reminds me, if anyone wants to draw me something, and send it over yander, feel free to. You may get something awesome in return.
As for the souls, what do you use to contain them?

I also tend to collect art - my own, because nobody else seems to want to collect it.
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

I'll collect your art.

life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

have I been compromised? Wait... I sold my soul for a pack of funonions when I was 14. Sorry, you're too late.

My girlfriend broke a shelf of her bookcase by overloading it with heavy cookbooks. Wasn't a flimsy shelf either. Needless to say, she has many cookbooks. Quite a problem if you ask me. Anytime she goes to a thrift store, she'll bring back a couple more. I find she has a problem, but hey, I bring home dead animals so I can't really talk.
I think my house eats socks. Or, could be the fairies in the washing machine. Damn water breathing fairies.

Oh, I just remembered something else.. when I was younger, I collected unicorns. Anything from cuddly toys to ornaments (yeah, I'm trying to imagine what would be between those implied extremes too, I'm drawing a blank though.)
As people mentioned books, I guess you could say JP and I collect those too. We have no fewer than 6 bookcases in a 2 bedroom flat, and two of those are those massive 4x4 things you get in ikea. There is a shelf of books in the wardrobe I use to house my altar too, and a small box of books stands on my desk too. I sometimes fantasise about being able to have a show-home style clutter free home, but unless we re-home the hundreds of books that eat up our space, that won't ever happen.
夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?
Normally, this would be incentive enough to direct you to my Etsy site, but Etsy and I don't get along anymore, I've been expelled, and have become persona non grata.
