I started the same way, Steve. My father worked late and when he got home, he used to leave all his change on the table so I could look through it when I woke up. If I got my hands on a quarter, I would go in a store and ask for five nickels, inspect them, and then go into other stores and ask for five Pennies each. Can you believe I still have the first coin I ever bought in a coin store? An Indian penny.
