Anyone collect coins?

We’re going to buy some coins for a coin collector for Christmas – I have no idea what is sought out when it comes to coin collecting. I thought I’d ask – if anyone here knows about coins or collects them – what type coins do you wanna buy? I don’t want to spend hundreds of bucks on a coin or coin set…

Anyone have coin knowledge to share?

So, feel free to vote in my poll. Our schools are out/closed today.

Are schools out where you are?
Will you (or did you) vote in the election?

What do you buy a guy who don’t really need anything (or has most all of what he needs/wants)? Ideal things excluding gift certificates and money.

Note: There are things he wants that I can’t afford at this time. For example, a new dirtbike. I’d like to get something he’d really like or something to really make him smile. I’m just not sure what. I recently bought him a new necklace, he recently got a new wedding band. Doesn’t need a new watch. He isn’t into the computer. Works all the time and doesn’t have a lot of play/free time to do something as his only off day is Sundays. Tho, he did request off for our anniversary. So, anyone have any super duper ideas to pass along? Please, say yes. =)
