This isn't as ridiculous as it sounds.
Many people buy coins simply as commodities. In the
course of doing so, they may have ordered a thousand of
a particular coin, and the coins may have come in a box
from a dealer who sent it through the mail. When the
time comes to sell the coins, they may open the box and
discover that instead of the 1,000 coins they ordered,
they actually have only 900. And the dealer may no
longer be in business.
You can't count your profits if you can't count your coins.
Speaking of counting coins, if you buy rolls of coins,
make sure that if you buy a roll of fifty coins, you actually
have fifty coins. And if you show one of your rolls to
someone, make sure that he or she doesn't misplace any
of the coins.
