Coin collection is an old hobby and it still persists even in the modern era of Computers and Internet. I remember a recent movie “” which starts with the scene where hero is badly wounded and the first thought before going black out was about coins, his father was a coin collector.
In USA, particularly, people love to collect coins of all sorts. At least this is the impression i get from innumerable ads in magazines and on electronic media. Few coins just have some historical significance or connection to culture or main event, others do have their own value especially silver and gold coins.
In a single magazine, i found three full page ads of coins. One was claiming an act of Congress to protect America’s national treasures for future generations by issuing “America the Beautiful” quarter coin series five times a year at a very price of $15 along with some US historic stamps, color photography of national treasure with narrative.
The second ad was more interesting as it involves Silver dollar coins, each of 27 grams silver issued around 1783, the year America won the freedom. Although i seriously doubt that these silver coins were actually used by the founding fathers of America, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin but Silver has its own intrinsic value so this can be a more secure bet with something to boast about historical collection.
