Lake Charles, LA - 6/10/2006

Around the world, everyday people are actually feeding their addiction by spending
money to purchase money. You heard it right, people really do spend hundreds every
year to buy coins. The \"addiction\" that people are labeled with is called
Numismatics.

For those that practice collecting coins, the technical name is Numismatics. The
term Numismatics was first coined (no pun intended) from the Greek word nomisma,
which means \"coin\". Numismatics is the study of coins, tokens, medals, banknotes,
and other primitive forms of money. Countries around the world annually issue
billions of coins, and collecting coins has become a popular hobby to.

For over three thousand years coins have been used as a way to trade for goods and
services but you would be surprised how many people around the world collect coins
as a hobby or as a business. No, they are not really \"addicted\" by some horrible
life threatening disease, but some people are really are addicted to collecting
coins. Some do it for fun and others collect for investment purposes, but for those
that are business savvy can actually make money collecting and selling rare and
un-circulated coins.

Most numismatists start collecting coins from their country or origin because
specimens are readily available. Every date, mint mark, and design variation counts
as a different coin. Most collectors try to find better and better quality
specimens of the coins already possess. Because the number of collectable coins
found in circulation has become very limited, a collector has to trade coins to
complete or upgrade their collection.
