<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2113396, member: 46237&quot;]There are several key differences between collecting stamps and collecting coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>People grow up using coins on a daily basis, especially children who aren&#039;t dealing with large sums of money. Stamps are rarely used, almost never by children.</p><p><br /></p><p>A child may find change on the ground and feel like they found something special. They can hold the coin in their hand and play with it. How many times do you find a stamp on the ground?</p><p><br /></p><p>You grow up with coins of a certain type, and then when the type changes, seeing the old coins can invoke nostalgia. Nostalgia leads to curiosity into even older coins. There are too many varieties of stamps being produced for anyone to latch on to one type and really feel a sense of nostalgia. More importantly, these associations form in your mind when you are young, and young people are not often exposed to stamps, especially with the advent of email.</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as coins are being circulated and they keep changing the types <i>once in a while</i>, coin collecting will be here to stay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
