Since I was little I have liked coins. I was about 9 years old when I started collecting coins.
My dad was driving a public transportation car. In the afternoons, when he really went out to work, he counted the coins. There I would see coins that were not Venezuelan, but were the size of the currency of my country.
My dad would throw those coins in the garden and in the morning I used to go all over the yard and find the coins he was threw away.
And so I began to collect coins from various countries. The ones he had the most were Colombian coins. Back then those coins had no value here, but now that everything has changed the coins have more value.
Now I have many coins from different countries that were gifted to me by family and friends over the years.
For many, if not all of the coins, I discovered where they come from, the characteristics, the numismatic value and other things that interest me.
I also have a collection of silver coins from my country.
Coins from Canada.

And so I became a collector of coins given away by my friends when they returned from their travels in different countries. I love them!
Ohh I've always wanted to collect coins and bills but my sisters kept playing with them. So now some of them are lost
