<p>[QUOTE="john59, post: 2113423, member: 73760"]I do not disagree with you. Coin collecting is here to stay, but so is stamp collecting. They're probably two of the biggest hobbies in the world. Relating to nostalgia, if you're over 50, I would agree with you on that. With our basic cashless society, nostalgia is being thrown out the window. Mostly everything is bought with credit cards. Kids today want a $20 bill, not 50 cents. It's up to us and the societies we belong to, to promote coin and stamp collecting to the young people. I think I can teach world history better than half of the teachers with a pound of foreign coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have to look at accessibility. You can go onto the internet and buy a thousand different US or worldwide stamps for about $5.00 with shipping. That's how you can start younger people into stamp collecting. The same goes with foreign coins. The US coins, we still have the penny, nickel and the state quarters are still popular especially with the younger generation. Like I mentioned before, you can get these in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
