<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1806723, member: 25270"]I agree. It is mostly older people who have the time and money to devote to a hobby like this, especially collecting the serious coins that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Many people, men especially, seem like they are always drawn to collecting one thing or another, and there will always be some who turn to coins. It may not be common - you might not know anyone else you interact with in your daily life who is also a collector - but there are still plenty of us out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do wonder though as people turn more and more to electronic payments and move away from cash how that will affect the hobby. I can see it going both ways. 1. People don't use cash and coins anymore, so they don't get interested in collecting them. 2. People don't use coins and cash anymore, and they see them as a quaint and interesting relic of earlier times like Indian arrowheads or antiques and that draws people to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
