<p>[QUOTE="kvasir, post: 73162, member: 4139"]Sure why not? I'm 25 and from what i've seen so far many fellow numismatists are older middle age males (just a general observation when i visited coin shops and flea-markets). Like many people I have started saving up interesting coins since i was in elementary school.

I was at the flea market just this Saturday hunting for missing key dates at this coin shop, there was this dad taking his son (about 6 or 7) going through a box of pennies filling up a new album with dates. While I was picking my coins quite a few other kids dropped by, browsed and was getting all goo-goo ga-ga over all the "kool" stuff on display. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah this hobby will continue as long as there are enough interesting new designs/variations coming out once in awhile to get people interested.
