I keep coins I find in change and I have some of the presidential dollars. Do you collect US coins?

[Sicador]

Unfortunately yes... But not too deep.. Although I have many proofs set mostly single/double coin silver sets..have few 2-3 coins of Morgan, peace, seated liberty, indian head cents and circulating coins.. Initially I had craze but now I only collect Indian coins and banknotes..
