Coin collection is a famous hobby. In fact people of every age group all over the world are fascinated by this wonderful hobby. It was always been one of most enjoyable leisure known to man. In historic times Coins were the legal mode of payment for trade. This hobby also existed in 15th century but it was limited to only rich and wealthy people. There are many rare and highly expensive coins. Paper money is still not recognized and popular as compare to coin collection. However each year draw towards this amazing hobby. There are mainly two types of collectors. Mainly collectors prefer US Currency. But some collectors like to have money from worldwide. My friend Sam likes to collect coins and currency from specific time like Civil War and World War II.

You can easily get a lot of information from these old coins and vintage bank notes. In early 13th century Paper money was introduced by China as it was much affordable and inexpensive rather than coins. France in 1600 issued the first bank notes. By 20th century every country issued its own coin and paper money. Many collectors complained that the dates on bank notes are very misleading. Coin dates are different as they were modified on the year of issue. Paper money show the issue date. Dates and year became quite puzzling for new collectors. Similar to other collections the actual value and worth of any item are different. Vintage bank notes have secure grading system. The old bank notes dealers may have difference in their opinion. For example sometimes a bank note may appeal and be valuable but another may find it not that unique and rare. Some collectors may only collect those coins and currency that is in bad condition and are not acceptable by anyone.
