Money, for collecting purposes, has interested me all my life. At the tender age of 8, I had a jar full of Kennedy half dollars (all silver). Unfortunately, a thief that broke into my house liberated me of my collection (it took quite a whle to get that many half dollars). That did not dissuade me though. I love collecting various things; it shouldn't really matter about the value of an item as long you like collecting it and looking at your collections. Just my opinion of course
