<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AlexSamuel, post: 3002690, member: 93425&quot;]I love coins and have since i was a kid, but I never really put in the time or the effort to learn and I didn&#039;t go out of my way to collect coins. I&#039;d dig through my and my parents change, dad would give me foreign and U.S. coins every so often, and i had a half filled state quarters map and that&#039;s it. What i want now is to learn. I bought some coin folders to fill in so i&#039;ll do that for a while, but while i&#039;m doing that i want to learn about coins. Basics that you all already seem to know here - varieties, known errors, definitions for terminology and how to recognize it, how to identify a cleaned coin, etc. Does anyone know of any books i could order? Like from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also LOVE educational books or collection folders on foreign coins because that&#039;s how my love for coins began. Dad would travel for work when i was growing up and he&#039;d always bring me back foreign coins. So I want to learn about coins from European countries too, but being from the United States i don&#039;t know how easy that would be to find. Surely i&#039;m not the only one over here that likes foreign coins. I&#039;m a student fixing to put myself through college if i can get into the school i want, so i can&#039;t really afford anything extravagant. Currently saving all my change so i can go through it and start filling in the collection books i ordered when they get here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, i&#039;m gonna buy the red book i&#039;ve heard about. Does it matter which version i get? Is it something that i will need to buy again every year, eventually? I noticed there&#039;s a version for every year. Or is just having one book enough, no matter the year?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
