RH in AK asked:

I’m interested in knowing why people started collecting coins, what coins they started with? Also, how did your collecting evolve? Did you start with U.S. state quarters and later move on to U.S. Morgan dollars?

Colton asked:

Is there a place where I can find out the number of coins minted before the end of the year? It would be great to know the number minted weekly as they are minted.

What is a person called who loves coins?

Annon Y asked:

I have seen a commercial where they show people addicted to finding coins and I cannot remember what they call them? It was a “something-ismosis” or I think close to that. Thanks a million.

Jace asked:

I have loads of coins laying around. I’m wondering if there is a website that explains the things to look for in a coin to see if it’s more valuable than it’s original worth?

Chloride asked:

I have some ancient Roman coins, and I want to know if there’s any way I could do some sort of test to find out what some of them are made of. For some reason I can’t seem to find a lot of them on different online catalogs, so I want to be able to see if there’s some way I could figure it out myself.

JanSmiles5000 asked:

Some of the coins have a tourqoise green color on them. I don’t know what the substance is, if it’s mold or what. Should I be careful getting it on my hands. Can I use bleach or amonia or perioxide to clean this substance off so I may handle them?

Mention the flag of St David asked:

Why is the writing on the edge of the new US Washington dollars sometimes heads-oriented and sometimes tails-oriented?

On some of my Washington dollar coins, the edge writing is “up” when the reverse of the coin is up, and on others, the edge writing is “up” when the obverse is “up”. Is this intentional? This inconsistency makes the coins seem junky.
