more from that month
How my coin collection started. 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!

wow
I also have some old coins
Ah good. And have you posted them here? I have many currencies, Japanese, Brazilian, Colombian. French, British, Spanish before the European Union emerged. And I also have bills. Tomorrow I will post some bills. Ah! I forgot, thank you very much for the support.
No, I haven't posted it yet. Maybe I'll do it later.
It will be good to see. Please tag me when you post it. Thank you very much.
Ohh I've always wanted to collect coins and bills but my sisters kept playing with them. So now some of them are lost
I have many, but they do not have great numismatic value. I only have them because I collected them since I was little and the rest are worthless gifts.
So just for the sentiments 😅 mine were ones my grandfather gave to me. He said i could sell those by the time i grew older
Ah, so your coins can have great numismatic value. I have my coins and bills organized.
I think? That's what my grandfather said since most of those coins were from the 40s? I only segregated them by year because it was a full jar then i put them into small boxes
You can have a small fortune and you don't know it! Wow, how I would like to see your coins.
I'll try looking for them tomorrow before i start finishing up my sketches for that day
Hopefully you can post them! I would love to see your coins.
