<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stoster38, post: 2553369, member: 11827&quot;]I don&#039;t think the hobby will ever completely die out. As long as there are physical coins to collect the hobby will continue. The number of collectors may dwindle but whoever is left will collect, from circulating coins, if dealers are no longer around. Foreign coins could also be a source of coins for collectors if, for some reason, America no longer used coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hard part is attracting new collectors. I started collecting in the early 90&#039;s. I was in my early 20&#039;s and the internet was not as robust as it is now. I started on my own and was mostly unaware of the larger coin collecting community. So I did not have much guidance. I made mistakes that I&#039;m sure others had already made but definitely was a good learning experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately no one in my family, that is younger, is into coin collecting and probably a similar situation for others. Going to be a tough nut to crack in figuring out how to attract young collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
