My mum had been collecting coins for years. Always five of each, one to represent each member of our family. It was something her and I used to do together and was a fantastic way to bond. Sadly she passed a way in 2019, but I've continued on collecting. Trying to get 5 of each. Because there will always be five original members of this family.
