[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1644909, member: 15929"]When coinage is no longer used, the collector base will diminish significantly and more than likely, will NOT renew itself as it does today. Many collectors are born of their experiences with actual money and once that experience is no longer available, the number of folks that pursue their interest in "collecting" that money, will simply not be there as there will by no experience to relate to. Collecting of coins will become a very specialized hobby much like collecting campaign buttons or just buttons in general. Value goes beyond intrinsic Value and coin values are directly related to supply and demand. If there are few supplies with no demand then there's just nothing left. Folks MUST be interested in it otherwise it becomes just another pointless and worthless stamp collection or boxes full of Beany Babies and Cabbage Patch Kids.[/QUOTE]
