Peter Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Well done young man.Your hobbies will stand you in good shape.Learn about the history of coins and why people thought the Earth was flat.If you could let me know why beer tastes so nice and a T bone steak is....well lovely. Quote

Galileo belived the earth was round. He also discovered 4 of Jupiter's moon.Ganymede (bigger than pluto and mercury), Io (Very Volcanic), Callisto (Heavily scarred by craters, believed to be the most cratered) and Europa (Icy planet). Europa was in greek mythology. Quote

Study hard and get qualified, don't waste your money on smoking or drinking, don't lose sight of coin collecting, and don't get led too far astray by girls. Good luck !!! Just as a matter of interest, how do your classmates and friends react to you being interested in coin collecting ? (or haven't you told them) I know when I first became interested and mentioned it to a few, they couldn't get their heads round it and stared blankly at me. Quote

Weirdest coin incident was a few years back when i was playing at school and my 'aquintance' found a half franc from the 60's Quote

Maybe it's something they teach them in Year 10 which is also Year 11 weirdly... Quote
