' "Coin collecting is so much more than the feel of different mttals," John Lenker says. "There's so much history to be learned.

Get statistics and ask about any points of spectacular profits or losses. • Find out what type of investments he deals with.

"The coins, dated 1792, were given to Washington and he personally distributed them. Each of these coins was handled by our first president.

There are a lot of reasons to start col­ lecting coins, both Lenkers agree. Boy Scouts do it for merit badges, some people do it for profit and some find it a fascinating hobby.

Stedman says the idea seems to be well received, adding: "We are finding more and more people banking by mail, and with automatic bank teller machines all over town, our not handl­ ing cash does not seem to be a problem. I think we'll see more banks do this in the future." -- CNS $20,000 Bet Compulsive gamblers wager an average of $20,000 each year and ac­ count for $34 billion worth oi legal and illegal bets made annually in the United States, according to the Washington Center for Pathological Gambling in Rockville, Md. * The compulsion to gamble can be as fierce as drug or alcohol addiction, ex­ perts say.
