Coin collecting, sometimes known as numismatics, used to be an expensive hobby but it is now a hobby most people can afford. Like stamp collecting, coins can tell us a huge amount about history, geography and politics.
Pros:
- Coins are small and easy to store
- Most coins retain their value
- Most coins are inexpensive
- Most rare coins gain value
