Coin Collecting as a Hobby
Most people engage in different
activities that they consider hobbies. When people consider a particular
activity as a hobby, it means that people find that activity pleasurable
in that they enjoy collecting different kinds of coins.
In this context, it does not
necessarily follow that the coin collector will focus more on the
monetary value of the coins. When the focus of coin collecting delves
more into the monetary value of the coins than the gratification the
collector obtains, it is no longer deemed a hobby but an investment.History tells us that the main reason other generations collected coins was the value that coins would someday attain. The ancient form of coin collecting was even labelled a hobby “fit for the kings” because ancient coins were so valuable that only the kings were capable of collecting them.
