Common Coin Collecting

Coin collecting used to be a hobby for the rich. They
were the only ones that were able to consider coins
art. Everyone else had to use their coins to buy food,
clothes and other essentials of life.

But time changes everything and now coin collecting is
something anyone can do. Everyone from all economic
levels can afford to collect some type of coins. Coins
pass through our hands everyday.

What could be easier to collect than something you
come into contact with so often?

Old wheat pennies are still in circulation. Buffalo
nickels and silver dimes still get used as change
everyday. Foreign coins seem to make their way into
everyone’s pocket at one time or another. Coins with
mint dates that span the century are as common as
rain.

Even non-monetary tokens are considered acceptable
subjects for coin collections. Instead of wondering
what to do with that left over bus token or amusement
park token, start collecting them.

Casino chips make colorful collectable items. Start
taking those wooden nickels. Add them to your
collection of coins with no monetary value.

If you’re looking for a collecting hobby to start, but
don’t have a lot of cash to put into it, coin
collecting can be the perfect choice. A few dollars
worth of change can get you a nice start on a great
coin collection.

And the best part is, you may not even have to go any
further than into your pocket to start it.
