Coins, at this stage of my life. As a younger man, I was buying beer, then collecting the empty bottles. I also collected speeding tickets on my motorcycle, and notches on my bedpost...

Well, so far I am the only one who voted for paper money. I do love coins though. (Just not as much as banknotes  ) |

I just haven't been able to get into bank notes. I see some that I like every once in a while and I get them. The Zimbabwe hyperinflation currency for example. But other than that, coins is where it is at for me.

I voted for coins too however if I was to stop collecting altogether and could only keep one collection it would be the notes. I primarily collect coins - just looking at my records I have 1,365 coins vs. 235 notes.
Constant variety of coins to collect whereas my next note additions would be in the 1935 series which are getting up there in cost.

Coins. Ancient coins, historic coins, patterns, errors and World coins in particular.

I have some paper. But, the bulk of my collection are coins.

I voted banknotes, I may have more coins than banknotes and buy coins more often but I am prepared to spend more on a banknote than a coin and my notes are worth considerably more than my coins (gold ones aside but I treat gold as a third catagory)
Both are cool but a very old piece of paper that looks like it was printed yesterday is always impressive to me.

Had to pause on collecting paper money to focus on coins. Couldn't afford both at the same time!
