Coin Collecting and "Change"

As a species, we are creatures of habit. Under normal conditions, we tend to resist change of any kind, and I often thought that this is ironic in a hobby dedicated to collecting another type of change. When I built Error World as a three club unit, the first and only club of it's kind, I ran into a lot of resistance from member's. "Why three rooms? Is it really needed? I'm already a member here." These and many other comments were made about this design. In the early days, the clubs were harder to navigate. Each "room" was locked into a pre-set format and each of the three rooms offered different options.

Since those days Error World has been constantly evolving. In fact, the club has been constantly changing since it's conception. It was decided early last year to terminate Error World 3 on Lycos Communities. The system was difficult to use and had little to no activity. One of the other EW Officers set up a club called Variety Coins on MSN so it seemed a natural fit, so into the number 3 spot it went. Variety Coins is now the official Error World 3 and has already passed the former EW3 for membership and activity. I can see alot of good things in store for this club section. Come see for yourself, we'll be there to welcome you.

As the most recent addition to the club, I have added another independent group called "U.S.Coin Collecting" and built a "World Coin Collecting" section for all you folks that desire to remain on the straight and narrow of normal U.S. and World numismatics! Don't be surprised if the next time you look into EW you'll find something new. In fact, if you haven't seen EW lately, you haven't seen EW! Come see what all the excitement is about, everything in EW is free for members to use and enjoy.

If you've been thinking of joining a club, pick one you can live with, one that gives to you, instead of asking from you.
