I pull one more aspect here. Many things in history are going out of fashion very fast. After #metoo, scandals in different monarch families, racism scandals, "liberators" issues in Americas there are a plenty of coins which are not nice for coming generations. In Americas they are already taking statues off like in Russia early 1990's. Nearly every past king and queen have a dark shadow viewed through todays and furure glasses. Few of those shadows may reach todays kings and queens as well.

What I know for sure is that the central banks of the countries will definitely not give up cash in the near future. Cash is still in huge demand among the population. Even if cash disappears, this hobby will not die (I hope). It's just that it will take its niche place in people's hobbies and stay with them.

I am not, and never have been an ANA member, I have been to only 2 shows in the last 20 years, and I never spend more than $5 at my LCS (I only buy coin supplies and world coins out of the 20 cent bin). Based on those behaviors, many people would think I am not much of a collector.
.
I wonder if there are many young people at coin exhibitions ?
I'm still bad in terms. What is LCS?
Do you replenish your collection only with coins from boxes of 20 cents? This is crazy.

LCS = local coin store.

I used to only buy the cheap stuff but lately I've been spending more and more. Whether that's a good sign remains to be seen.

I remember stamp collecting has gone a similar period before it has become what it is today. Young pepole are losing interest in coins, specially modern ones. Whats your opinions about that?


Where is stamp collecting at these days? I got the impression that endless commemoratives didn't help its growth, though I suspect that classic stamps still have value. It seems less popular than coin collecting.

I still see children at coin shows but... I don't know, I think that coin collecting as a hobby was really helped in the 1960s and 1970s by lots of countries undergoing big changes in their money, and while that still happens, money (or at least coins) are now a smaller part of everyday life.
