I hoard all kinds of currency. I dont know why or when but it started with wheat cents, andnow I have many world coins, bills, and lots of jingle change separated by amount and general dates (new or older).
I am a noob at this numistic stuff.

Well, I do have a soft spot for 1954 coins.

I've not yet met an 1892 Barber dime I can get for under $3 that hasn't come home with/to me regardless of shape and any G4 or better problem free I can find for under $4. I Only have about 15 of them so far. Why do I hoard them? They are the most abundant inexpensive early date Barber dime I see. I like that it's a first year of issue. I've given a few away to coworkers who liked old coins too. I don't know what surprises them more. The date and how old the coin is when they first see it or when I tell them it's only worth about $5. Of course I'm extremely careful of what I say and never share details of my collection with them. I used to hoard the 09 cents I found but I've lost interest in adding more. Same with the 4 special different design Jefferson nickels. Gave up on them quickly except for the buffalo one.

Since I was a kid I have kept every 76 quarter that I came across. I did have to spend a few here and there when I was short on money, mostly as a kid, or in college but I would say I have 200 or so now. Actually added two this week to the jar.

I like the 1950 Mexican 5P Railroads along with the Texas Centennial Halfs. Just can't seem to get enough of those coins with "busy" designs!

I like this thread! I hoard Jefferson nickels, any year but I'm filling a Whitman 1938-1961 folder at the moment, so I coin roll hunt for the right years/mints anyway. My wife thinks I'm crazy...hoarding silver coins too, but she likes them.

Back in the mid 1960s, I hoarded any silver coin that came my way. I ended up with about 300 1964 Washington quarters, all of which I still have in my hoard.

I wouldn't call it hording but I have put together four 1944 years sets that is my birth year and my favorite is the certified S mint set.
Other than that I often start sets for no good reason other than my compulsive nature like my set of England coins that ended up being a large collection that took 3 years in the making. It is a type set of their coins dating back to the 1800's.

1875 Indian Head cents- I am currently over half way to completing a roll 1875 Seated Liberty halves- I am currently at the half way mark for a roll 1861-O Seated Liberty halves- this will be a tough roll, I am currently at 6 I hoard the 1875s because that is my centennial birth year and 1975 coins are quite boring  The 1861-Os represent the Civil War like no other coin- the majority were either minted by the State Of Louisiana after succession or the by the CSA after Louisiana joined. It is the only US coin struck by another government and a fascinating part of history.

I also keep 1776-1976 quarters. I give them to my mom and she puts them in a jar. I'd say we have over $40 worth.
