Ive been collecting them for 25 years now since i was a kid. Luckely my family had the same passion so they were a great help, and my aunt still loves to travel around the world and always brings home coins.

I got to know my buddy in florida dates a girl who is originally from the Bahamas so first thing that went through my mind is checking if i had anything from the bahamas money wise. then i stumbled on this great site called http://www.banknote.ws/ when researching what kind of notes they had. Thanks to this i could finally sort all the ex yugoslavian money that i had for 20 years.

Sadly thanks to the Euro collecting money has gotten alot more boring as surrounding countries have the same currency, and ebay/internet offer whole sets of coins and notes of the past for a euro, but whats the fun of collecting if you just buy everything?

Above is just my notes collection, working on coins atm.

I don't see how collecting toys is silly but video games or stamps or coins is not. Both are silly, and people waste money on useless hobby which makes them happy. Rolling Eyes

Obviously toys is a bit more silly, but i think they're cool anyway. If they didn't cost as such i might have bought a few myself.

To me collecting coins is more silly of course...







... this argument is retarded, everyone likes whatever it is they like, while looking at other people spending money on other stuff as idiotic. Very Happy

Not that I collect them, but I have a bag of weird looking Euro stuff, coins with holes in them, weird shapes, I think they belonged to my Russian grandfather


Danish Kronor?

Tho since it's your grandfather it could be anything, cause even Belgian franks had a coin with holes back in the days

Those with the weird shape and hole, I can guarantee you, that those were some coins for making calls with public phones Smile You seem to have everything but german marks.

My great grandfather collected coins from all different currencies. When my grandfather died, I got the collection. It's safely stored away, and I guess it could be worth something to someone, so I'll just keep it for my son, or my sons son.

Myself, I collect steam games.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I collect these ... https://www.google.ca/search?q=steelbook+definition

gets expensive (not like leo's toys must cost) ... really collecting anything is a bit nerdy, but really isn't that the point?
