Coins are one of the most favorite collectibles of all times. It is fun to do, is also educational and is an extremely safe hobby to have. The start to a coin collection can be the change that you have in your pocket and you can then build up from there. You can then start saving up to buy some of the coins that belong to different countries or different eras.

It is a good idea to define the manner in which you want to go about the whole affair rather than to start collecting coins in a haphazard manner. While you can collect any coin that you have, you may want to create a coin collection holder that allows you to catalogue the coins that you are collecting.

Collecting coins of all the countries in the world can be a start. And if you start with the coins of the current period, you will easily be able to complete a collection of the current coins in the world. You can then graduate to collecting all coins of United States across a period of time and move forward with that. You can even decide to collect smaller or larger denominations too.

If you want to collect coins and have it mean anything, you should also read up about the coins that you are collecting. This will increase your knowledge and give you more ideas about the manner in which you should grow your collection. Some of the sources of coins can include friends, relatives, banks, financial institutions, coin expos and more.
