<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2546990, member: 80804&quot;]Did people stop collecting oil lamps when lightbulbs were invented? Did people stop collecting coins when paper money became common?</p><p>I don&#039;t think there&#039;s much of a relation at all between circulating physical forms of money in a digital age and the number of those who collect them.</p><p>The &quot;Philately declined when email came in&quot; thing is a total red-herring. Philately has been on the decline ever since FDR was our &quot;First stamp Collector&quot;. Philately also lacks the tactile satisfaction of numismatics - is a bit &quot;fussier&quot; of a hobby, and generally doesn&#039;t appeal to a very broad demographic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
