Numismatics

Numismatics is the study or collection of currency. While it mostly any coins and paper money use, it can also cover objects like tokens, medals and other related items.

For me, I started to collect coins a few year ago when i noticed a 50p with a unique reverse design on it. Since then I have kept an eye out for any coins with a unique designs on it, and add them to my collection.
