I was thinking of starting a coin collection, I have all the state quarters except the 2009 territorial quarters and DC quarter, I want to collect them plus the presidential 1 dollar coins plus all the national park quarters, Is anyone else collecting coins or thinking about it.

I was collecting the different state quarters for a while, but I forgot about it.  I have the little books.  It's always something I can pick up again.

I have all the state quarters as well.  I was given a set of the territory ones also.
I had been collecting T-shirts from all Hard Rock Cafe's worldwide, but I recently switched to Hard Rock pins.
I am collecting commemorative baseballs from every MLB ballpark I visit.

MLB rookie cards, NFL jerseys and Limited edition abstract wildlife sculptures (Cain Studios, Mill Creek)

^^ I was collecting NFL jerseys for a while too, but it got expensive so I stopped.  Now I have a crapload of jerseys I never wear.

Let me know if you need some for your collection...

I too gave up the jersey collecting...
I did the state Quarter thing for my Mom,the problem is,it seems like so did just about everyone else did the quarter thing too...So I'm not really sure why it's a big deal

I think if anything, I'd say Garden gnomes,but I'm trying to really limit,what an how many I buy...I don't have alot of room to put them everywhere,So they need to be different...

I collect shot glasses. I have a shot glass from damn near every place I have ever visited. My parents also travel a lot and I have a ton of them from places they have visited as well including a ton of the Hard Rock locations.

I have actively stopped collecting.  I found that it was more stressful trying to take care of and move valueless collections than enjoyment.  I have a bunch of cards and toys from when I was a kid.  Now I feel guilty getting rid of them, but I don't get enjoyment from having them either.  It's just another stress knowing that I have to lug around boxes of crap for the rest of my life.

I am collecting vicariously through my daughter.  I'm filling her room with things that I like.  I've gotten a few bobbleheads of cool girls from Pop Culture -- right now I have Wonder Woman and Princess Leia, but would expand to a few other cool ones I saw.

As for coins, I think the act of finding them is the fun part -- looking at your change.  And at the end of the day, they still have value.

To me, collecting is just clutter. I don't get it.

Y'all are a bunch of Debbie Downers.  I disagree.  It depends on what it is. 

I collect things that signify stuff.  Like the Hard Rock pins - I collect a pin from places I've visited (or other people have visited) around the world.  Same with the shot glasses and the baseballs.  And all of them are displayed neatly in a dedicated area or case.  I don't just have random boxes of stuff in my garage.  And there are a finite amount of items you could have.  There are 30 MLB stadiums, so 30 balls is the max, until they build more stadiums. 

Its just a little token to remind you of that tie you went to that place and had fun.

I don't know if you knew, but the mint has suspended the presidential dollar program.  I have about 12 silver quarters, that is about the only thing i currently collect. and a bunch of useless baseball cards from my youth.
