RobertTGM 8 Report post Posted October 4, 2020 Hello. Like many of you guys, i enjoy history, which made me start a numismatic hobby. To those who don't know, numismatics is a hobby about collecting coins, banknotes, tokens and medals (each one having its own category ex. banknotes - notaphilia). I first started over 1 year ago and now decided to share it with you guys. While it is true this hobby is expensive, you don't need to be rich in order to have the hobby. Some cool stuff cost a few cents each. (inflation marks, west german marks, yugoslav dinars etc.). I have stuff from socialist bulgaria, romania, poland, russia, netherlands, france (which includes a jean mauline commemorative), occupation money from the yugoslav wars and a lot more. The only WW2 coin i have is a norwegian 50 ore coin from 1945, and the oldest coin i own is a 50 dinara coin from 1938 Kingdom of Yugoslavia (the shiny 3rd one from the right), also being the most valuable because of 75% silver in it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :D. Here is the pic: https://imgur.com/a/e6QCGuS 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blahnjah 71 Report post Posted October 4, 2020 And that meme dude in your profile pics looks like a quintessential coin collector 😄 Cool hobby though. And old coins seem like a decent store of value and can always increase in time. I assume you can always find bargains if you're in the know. So probably not an expensive hobby in the traditional sense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The picture has copyrights and the guy on it earns money for it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
