<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magman, post: 604039, member: 3913&quot;]Pretty interesting that you mention this RickieB, as I was talking to an employee of Rare Coin Wholesalers about this topic (sort of) at Long Beach with Snaz.</p><p><br /></p><p>So we were talking about some super nice coins and such, and then paper money was mentioned, and he asked us if we collect it.&nbsp; I&nbsp; told him &quot;yeah, a little, but not as much as coins&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, aside from what people said about affordability and knowledge, there&#039;s just something about a shiny, or even worn down coin that&#039;s just nice.</p><p>Paper however, when used, becomes torn, ripped, folded, etc.&nbsp; Coins do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, we came to the conclusion that - aside from the fantastic art on notes - coins are just nicer to look at for the average collector.&nbsp; Coins have luster, they can tone, they can have a woodgrain effect, they can be strongly struck, and so on.</p><p>Paper money does not have these properties and that, paired with affordability, is why I think there are so many people into coins.&nbsp; In order to fully appreciate some of the art on notes you really need a nice example and those don&#039;t come cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
