I once took a date to see the the National Numismatic Collection ...

One of the best things about living in the Washington DC metropolitan area is the richness in historical artifacts. I intentionally look for new experiences in the area. As such, I also like to share my interests. On one occasion I took a date to visit the National Numismatic Collection to share my interest in coins. She was enthralled with my hobby after viewing some of the rarities on display.

I also like to point out that every so often the Smithsonian Institution holds a book sale. I need to research this further. On an antique shop junket in Maryland, I came across a few coin books stamped as property of the Smithsonian Institution. The shop owner said he purchased books from one of their sales. Needless to say, I put them on eBay and made a tidy profit.

Mmmm....I need to plan a few antique shop junkets as soon as the summer weather sets in.
