Re: Do you think collecting is good?
Yes, even i am curious now. I collect also but i do not take those coins to the bank. I still have them all with me right now. My mom thinks they could be worth a fortune! I am crazy to keep saving and occupying important storage space in my room with those coins but collecting is a really bad habit of mine.
my brother collects money from diff countries ... he has about 100 notes of currencies of diff countries ... interesting collection =)
Re: Do you think collecting is good?
i am not very good at collecting 
Re: Do you think collecting is good?
Hey princess my brother is the same, he is always going to the currecny exchange and converting his money into currencies from other countries : )
K337 how come?
kewl ... but my bro doesnt go to the currency exhange ... he started off with US notes cuz originally we're from the states .. so he had a british note and and US note up at his place of work .. and then as customers saw them, they slowly started adding theirs and his collection grew from there slowly slowly ...
Re: Do you think collecting is good?
hmm I used to collect marbles... but I misplaced them when I was moving.. uskay baad kabhi millay he nahin... then when I was working as a cashier, back in high school, sometimes people used to give coins from different countries, mistakenly.. With managers permission, I started collecting those coins... and no I dont have them anymore either.. Some one I know had a bigger collection than mine, so I gave all my coins to him. :D
Re: Do you think collecting is good?
aliyish said it right. at times, the best thing is to have a sense of preservation in keeping a collector's collection of good books, which one may gift to the next generation, as the best gift ever.
Re: Do you think collecting is good?
Princess so it means your brother is in his early twenties? My brother is really young he is 13 and he does not work so the only way he can get his different currency collection going is use a bit of his pocket money everytime he goes to the exchange or ask for some cash from me. However, this is nice that your brother's collection started in a very unique way. Does he not get tempted to convert all the money back and spend it?
Rose, even i used to collect marbles or as in urdu you call them bantay. I used to play with marbles too. I do not know if young girls also did it, but boys used to play games with marbles and exchange them amongst themselves.
