What do you enjoy doing while you sort out your coin collecting, I love listening to music with my favourite drink (Irish coffees) as I find very relaxing, well until I've had too many but by that time I can't even see the coins properly never mind sort them.lol

Now that I have a 4 month old son, I usually sort coins on my right hand and holding him on my left. Also while listening to my favorite songs. Hopefully my boy will grow up collecting coins too and become the youngest coin collector. :`

My 7 year old son likes to help so I get him to read out the dates on the coins while I write them into my notebook.  It's good to find something you can do together with your kids.

I am monitoring Forex charts and listening music, sometimes I am watching some good anime in background. basically I am using 3 screens the same time- one for numsita, second for coin catalog pdf's, last one; forex, anime, sci fi movie, etc.

As a writer, I am also a voracious reader.  I listen to audiobooks while I sort coins.  Very relaxing!

I also listen to audiobooks, but I like the idea about drinking orangina. Unfortunately, can't find it anywhere in the U.S.

Most importantly: welcome to the forum, and do contribute further! ;)
Yeah, Orangina is not there, so here is the recipe: 1/3 freshly pressed orange juice, sprinkled with 1/3 soda, then fill it up with Fanta... you are getting there. (;0

Should you be in Russia or Ukraine, then add 200 gramms of vodka, then it is quite drinkable. :snif:

Haha, I saw once a documentary about travelling through Russia and I thought it was just a myth that everybody drinks vodka In Russia from 8.00 to 23.00, but when I saw that documentary, I realised that could be true!

I think I would be too worried about spilling any sort of beverage on my coins.  I am almost at the point of wearing latex gloves to the supermarket as to not get fingerprints on my change...

Haha, hopefully everybody who receives changes will do that, so we all can enjoy the sight of shiny coins in our pockets!

I listen to the album Parallel Lines while sorting out my collection. Well, more like excercising them. Fine, I'll admit it, more like playing with them. Blondie is still my favourite band and will never vanish from my heart !

It used to be going through the forum, but lately it is dead there
It is, what it is, or is it.
