[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2546755, member: 112"]A wise man once said - "the answers lie waiting in the echoes of time". And this one does too. For one thing coin collecting has existed for almost as long as coins have existed. Nobody knows who the first collector was but it was over 2000 years ago. And in that time many things have changed. So many that, for all intents and purposes, the question you are asking has been asked and answered many times already. What I'm talking about is this, coins have been being "replaced" continuously for as long as there have been coins. For that matter, money itself has been being replaced since long before coins ever existed. And yet in all its forms - it is still being collected ! Now the popularity of coin collecting has waxed and waned many, many times over the centuries. And given that history it will undoubtedly continue to do that no matter what they replace coins with. But go away ? No, that's never gonna happen.[/QUOTE]
