What is your association with collecting coins?

... boring

... only for elderly people

... old-fashioned, too conservative

 

Why is that?

Please try the following:

Check your cabinets and drawers for old DM or some remaining coins from your last holiday. Take it in your hand, close your eyes and try to remember what you associate with this special coin. We are sure that you will come up with many interesting stories.

 

This particular story is what every coin has to offer and some of them are over 2000 years old!

 

The passion for these stories is what collectors have in common and led to the foundation of our society.

 

On the following sites you will read a lot about our society (GIG), our magazine (GN) and the hobby in general.
