<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1696687, member: 23368&quot;]Don&#039;t forget it&#039;s how you analyze the collector base. Lets say for simple math, 1% of the population collects currency. As the population grows, so does the amount of collectors... 100 people x .01=1 person. If the population doubles it&#039;s 200 people x. 01=2 persons. Remember, for classic coins this means twice the demand for a fixed number of pieces. What about age? Years ago the average age was between 0 and 65, now it&#039;s between 0 and 75. The increase in life expectancy skews the average age higher. So it appears we have older collectors, per 100 people, while the 1% of the population remains the same.&nbsp; Until someone shows me math that supports their claim, I think it premature to say it&#039;s a dying hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
