Brett Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Wow... that really sucks. Sorry to hear it. Have you tried to talk with your parents about this?Have them come to the site and see that it isn't a bad thing. I would think they would be happy that you are not out running the streets, getting into drugs or any other criminal activities. As to the banknotebank collection. Why delete it. Just leave it there. Unless you don't want the reminder. Well if possible try selling here on the boards first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbeast1098 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I just looked at your profile to see if it lists your age. You are an ADULT, who can make his own decisions. It is up to you and only you to decide wether or not to collect anything. Maybe you need to stand up to your parents and tell them that you are keeping everything. Just my honest opinion.....

Brett Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I looked at your profile and never even looked at the age. Is that your correct age? If so, I agree with the beast. Your an adult and make your own decisions. If not, then you are stuck if your under 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'd PM AKDRV (Anton) to see if he can delete them all for you in one swoop. I'm sure that you know what's best for your particular situation with your parents, so do what you need to. But banknotes themselves, even 1,000 of them can be kept in fairly small spaces, such as a private bank deposit box, secret spot somewhere in a room or in some other locale if you were ever to decide to make them less 'bulky' for your parent's sake. You might not be able to keep them in binders or special holders, but you can store them together that way. Whatever happens, I hope that you are able to keep up with this hobby, or at least return to it someday. If you can, keep on posting here and keep in the 'groove' of things. Best of luck in your plight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleKitty Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I know it's very hard when you and your family disagree. However, if you are indeed a legal adult, there is nothing your parents can do to make you get rid of your collections if they are that important to you. Do you live at home? Do your parents still support you financially? I know what I would do, but I have understanding parents who honestly got me involved in this hobby in the first place. I would sit them down, and tell them that this is my hobby, my money, and my life. Thank them for their concern, but it's my choice. Have a nice day. It drives me insane when parents try to be so controlling of their children who are well out of the nest. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binders wont work it will make it to bulky. The notes and coins "WERE" kept in a hiding spot. Until my mom decided to "CLEAN" the room. For the beanies they were on shelves that lined the celing, that has been removed by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I guess the best thing is to ask why they are disapproving your hobby. Is it because of financial issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Sounds like you are not going to change their minds. Is there anything else taking up more space you are willing to get rid of. Maybe you could convince them to get rid of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Dream, if it's too much trouble arguing with your parents, maybe you can ask one of the forum members here to safekeep your collection for a while. Not an ideal solution but that's one way to save what you kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if they'll compromise & ask if you can keep the banknotes if you get rid of your Ty (?) collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Orc Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 This might sound a bit harsh but have you considerd leaving home and getting a small place of your own? I am also sorry to say that if your folks can not see the value both educationaly and finacialy in collecting coins/notes etc then they need a bit of a wake up call (Again sorry if this sounds harsh) Have you spoken to your pastor about this yet, he might be able to help.
