When did we as a society lose our will to commemorate things with collectable plates that may appreciate in value? We barely even have commemorative coins anymore. It's a crying shame.

A coin is just a really small plate when you think about it OP

Millennials simply don't want to spend what little money they have on decorative plates. Functional plates are expensive enough.

When I was pretty young I was really into learning about the Civil War, I even had a subscription to some Civil War magazine and a bunch of books and stuff. Extremely cool, I know.

Thankfully for me, my family took note of this and decided that on several occasions that what young Big Beef City would like as one of his birthday or Christmas gifts, would be a Civil War commemorative plate.
I'm not real sure what they thought a 10-12 year old would really get out of that, but boy howdy, there they were. There they were.

I don't think I had this particular one (I don't remember, I had 4 of them total in the end, I think) but the artwork was VERY similar





...I wonder whatever happened to them.

i like how most commemorative coins are minted in somewhere other than the united states, but are guaranteed true legal tender.

When I was five the family in the neighboring apartment would babysit me while my mom was at work.
They had the full set of Indiana Jones comerrative plates prominently displayed in the entryway. Some of them had scenes from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
They also framed completed jigsaw puzzles and hung them on the wall. There was an odor of ammonia throughout the apartment.
