In this day and age people collect anything. Literally, anything. Comic books, vinyl records, teabag tags, airline safety cards, sugar sachets, toys, wine, casino chips, fruit stickers and so on. If you can imagine it, for sure someone out there collects it (yes, even toilets). Stamps and coins still remain the most popular collectible items though.
While I have chosen to collect coins and stamps, it doesn’t matter what you choose to collect. If you are collecting something that is of meaning to you then the thrill of building the collection is all the same. The joy of perusing, using or sharing your collection should be meaningful to you.
