<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 178404, member: 6641&quot;]<span style="color: black">IMO collecting paper currency and coins are so closely related that if you collect one you probably collect both or at least have some interest in the topic. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">I collect both and as I have traveled around the world I try to get both coins and good examples of paper currency. None of my foreign currency is worth much but they are nice pieces to admire and share with my kids. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Taken from Wikipedia - &quot;Every collector collects what interests them, and there are as many ways of collecting as there are collectors. However a few themes are common and are often combined to a goal for a collection.&quot; No where in the description do they mention paper currency. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_collecting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_collecting" rel="nofollow"><u><span style="color: #800080">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_collecting</span></u></a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">So to answer your question - the term coin collecting refers specifically to the collection of coins. Wikipedia includes all types of coins. I would agree</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">What can be learned/enjoyed from collecting coins is very similar to collecting paper currency. So if some Cub/Boy scout really loves paper currency and can meet the objectives of the badge he should probably be rewarded with it. If his interests are so strong then someday he will probably make a great coin collector.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
