<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1696121, member: 39&quot;]The OP does, to some extent, have a point in my opinion - I have read a few times recently that &quot;collecting&quot; in general is not that popular any more. Don&#039;t have any statistical data about that though ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if we look at stamps, a flood of commemorative stamps in some countries has affected the number of collectors. Today stamps are not really used much any more, so again the number is shrinking. To a lesser degree, we can see both trends in (modern) coins too. On the other hand, a few mints are apparently successful with theme coins that people (the &quot;casual&quot; novelty collector type) will buy if and only if they find them attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there are those who don&#039;t start collecting coins because the mint has just issued a new series of circulating commems, but because they like, say, those old silver coins that they have seen somewhere. Many reasons why I don&#039;t think that collecting coins is a dying hobby. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
