Coin Collecting
Coin collecting, also called numismatics, the systematic accumulation and study of coins, tokens, paper money, and objects of similar form and purpose. The collecting of coins is one of the oldest hobbies in the world.
Coin collecting is a tangible way to get in contact with the past.
Coin collecting dates all the way back to Roman times, and probably even earlier. Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, owned a collection of coins featuring the greatest generals of the classical world, including Alexander the Great. King George III also kept a coin collection.
