The father is one of India's biggest coin collectors, his son collects the autographs of celebrities, his daughter-in-law collects mobile recharge coupons and his daughter collects polythene bags!

'Collecting coins was a hobby which became something more big and developed into a passion as time passed. I have been collecting coins from across the world for the past 50 years now and have more than 10,000 coins,'

'Some day I hope to establish a coin museum to exhibit what I have been gathering so carefully for over half a century,' he smiled and said.

I feel there is something in this passion, and started thinking what I should start collecting --- what about you?

That is notice to know the family members are engaged in collection spree. Hobbies like numismatics, philately, books, etc are one ofthe finest hobbies known to mankind.

It is not sufficient to just collect coins. It requires study, arraging the coins in chronological order. Some people specialize in collect of one country or two countries coins only. There is a illustrated catalogue available which gives information, prices and picture of the coins of all over the world.

I have been collecting coins for the past 10 years.

Sincere thanks for giving my response a best response award.

Any good hobby is of immense help to hobbyist, particularly whenever they feel boring, or whenever they find some leisure time. Nursing a hobby is of great help, particularly the ones like Coins, stamps, post cards etc. will fetch good price, if the collection reaches a stage where one accumulates repetitions (duplicates) which other collectors want to buy. Thanks.

Hello dear season friend. It is interesting that the whole family have their own hobbies as to what to collect. I also love to collect coins, but most of the coins were those we used to use in the eighties and early nineties. They are just some small value coins, but seldom seen on the market. I have lots of them and now they are my son's together with some stamps I used to collect when I was young...

I am also a coin collector. Been collecting since i was 7 or 8 years old. 10,000 coins? That is an amazing number of coins to have. I reckon i have around 300 coins. It's salient feature would be that it is comprehensive with regard to coins produces in India since 1985. I might miss a coin here and there.

I recently did something which my friends thought was crazy and stupid. I went to many shops asking if they had any 5,10,20 paise coins,which they dont use any more. I landed up getting many of those coins and a few laughs and ammused stares from shop owners.

I also managed to get 2 rare coins, one belonging to 1947 and the other to 1950. The man owned a small shop, i gave him five international coins in return. He was so happy he gave me two chocolate bars in return!

I have a huge collection of letters eversince I was in elementary years until now. Right now, i am collecting my favorite movies and series as well as books or novels from favorite authors.

I was thinking of collecting small art paintings that will not really cost too much but still thinking of it.
