Well, honey, technically you could spend proof coins if you really wanted to, but I wouldn't recommend it. Those babies are minted with extra care and usually have a higher value to collectors. So, unless you're in a real pinch or feeling rebellious, I'd suggest keeping those proof coins safe and sound in your collection.
