Hello everyone! I'm photographing my boyfriend's, diseased fathers coin collection as a Christmas gift. I am framing the photos and I would like to add a quote with some of the pictures. Does anyone know any sayings or quotes about coin collecting or coin collectors? Any help is appreciated! Thank you, Nelly
While those are two quotes you hear often regarding coins, I'm not I'd use them in this application. He could take it the wrong way.
You are right, thank you USMoneylover. I guess I am looking for a wise/ heart-felt quote. My search continues...
"Courtesy is the one coin you can never have too much of or be stingy with." "Humor is the ability to see three sides to one coin." "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."
If you have cents "Pennies from Heaven" or "a Penny for your Thoughts" If you have nickels or dimes "I'm nickel and diming you to death" If you have quarters "I wish I had a quarter for every quarter that I've spent" If you have half dollars "Half is better than nothing at all" If you have dollars "A fist full of dollars" or "Dialing for Dollars" or "A Dollar makes you Holler" or "A Dollar for the Caller" or .... or better yet, make stuff up that seems to pertain to your beau's personality.
I recommend a passage from Alexander Pope's letter to Mr. Addision, Occasioned by his Dialogue on Medals: Ambition sigh'd: she found it vain to trust The faithless column, and the crumbling bust: Huge moles, whose shadow stretch'd from shore to shore, Their ruins perish'd, and their place no more! Convinced, she now contracts her vast design, And all her triumphs shrink into a coin. A narrow orb each crowded conquest keeps, Beneath her palm, here sad Judaea weeps. Now scantier limits the proud arch confine, And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine; A small Euphrates through the piece is roll'd, And little eagles wave their wings in gold.
• A penny saved is a penny earned • Don't nickel and dime me • A nickel for your thoughts • It's all about the Benjamins • Show me the money • Bring home the bacon • See a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck. • If I had a nickel for everytime I (fill in the blank). • Another quarter in the swear jar...
