Are you collecting money? I mean for numismatic purposes.
I am collecting coins, I have ove 800 different coins so far. But lately I stop collecting all coins, now I collect only silver coins, that have some worth now and in the future.
What is your experiences? Have you ever collect coins?

Many times in the past I have been known to collect $$ and coins. My Mom once had a collection that my sister got into and sold or spent that might be worth quite a bit now. I have a mercury head dime or two in my collection as well as some old confederate money that came thru where I was working. I would eventually love to have a set of everything from the yr. I was born as that is the last of a lot of the silver coins minted out there.

Hi serginho: Yes. Actually I have money from the unted states, canada, mexico, peru, ecuador, venezuela, chile, brazil, netherlands, uruguay. It's awesome. I love my collection and when I have the possibility to collect more coins or bills from other parts of the world I try to get them. This is like a treasure for me not because of the monetary value but because of what they represent.

I did collect coins for a while when I was younger. The problem is that in order to create a really interesting collection you need to specialise in a particular country. This is fine, but the cost of some older coins is unrealistic, mainly due to people collecting as an investment instead of a genuine hobby.

Oh wow! You're a coin collector? Do you have something from the Philippines yet? I don't collect anything. I harbor many kind of different things, though.

When I was a kid dad and mom used to give us coins from the places they traveled. We had a lot of coins coz my sister liked collecting coins and stamps as her hobby. But as we grew up we had less interest in those stuffs and when I think of it now, I don't really know where those coins or stamps are
