clive roland hit the nail on the head. its what ever coin in the world that suits your fancy. I have a on line friend that is an expert on coins and world coins. my personal fancy is dimes. I have the complete series all the way back to 1896,with only four more to go to complete the barber series, except the 1894 s , only 24 were minted. pick a coin that appeals to you and go for it. beware it can be addicting. have fun
Well, Clive Roland and treetown2 both answered your question, and I was impressed with treetown2′s dime collection. I can bet he didn’t do it over night. To form a collection one can be proud of, takes time and above all patience. Anyone one can buy a bunch of coins and call them a collection, these people are often called coin collectors, but some may be also investors. Then there are people, that say work on a dime collection and maybe get a few books on them. They kind of study the dimes they have. These people are not coin collectors any more, but Numismatists. There is a big difference between the two. One can start as a coin collector and stay that way, or they may want to learn about the coins they collect and the history behind them. That’s when they graduate to the N word. Don’t have much money, try getting one coin from each country that is around today, or go for ones that are not hear anymore or both. Try putting together from change a Jefferson nickel set 1938-2007. I did it, took a few years. How about a state quarter set from change only, it is not as easy as you think.

all coins are collectibles… some just have more value than the others…
