Like stamps collecting, currency and coins collecting from different countries was one of my favourite hobby, when I was teenage. At that time, penfriendship or penpal was the only source to collect the stamps or currency of many countries. I had many friends worldwide and trading with them could help me in collecting stamps, coins, currency notes, view cards and etc. I enjoyed these collecting hobbies and still enjoy watching my old collection boxes filled with stamps, coins, currency notes and old viewcards.
Definition of coin collecting as a hobby:
According to Wikipedia:
"Coin collecting is the collecting or trading of coins or other forms of legally minted currency. Frequently collected coins include those that were in circulation for only a brief time, coins minted with errors, or especially beautiful or historically interesting pieces. Coin collecting can be differentiated from numismatics in that the latter is the study of currency, though both are obviously closely related."
