I would say pennies... Some are easy to get... But I chose silver dollars, because thats what I'm trying to do now

I am all over the board so to speak. I like to collect coins that are little more scarce than pocket change.
Errors,mules,key dates etc!

The most common for MOST collectors is the cent of course.
The cent is a good start for a coin collector that doesn't have a large amount of excess cash.When I was a kid this is how I got started(pennies found in the pocket)
Just as an after-thought,today I collect almost all denominations.

My vote : Pennies. Cheap and good for roll hunting.
Nickels, well, the pure nickel coins would work for collectors.
Dimes, silver ones. Other than that, not popular.
Quaters : Collector coins in circulation.
Halves : Not in circulation anymore, so usually not common for collectors.
Silver dollars : Not every collectors like them. Unlike in the US, you can get them in the bank at face value. They're expensive in Canada.
Nickel dollars: No way!
Loonies : Collector coins. More and more common, because they get old quickly, so people collect them for grade.
Toonies: Not worth it.

I would say quarters first, lots of different releases in the past 12 years and for those who like older coins you can still get a silver coin for an affordable price. I agree with Darryldarryl no one likes dimes..... unless they have very good eye sight  |

If we're talking about "coins", then
=> QUARTERS!
then 50 cent pieces
then silver dollars (they only start in 1935, so although they are big-n-cool, they aren't very old ... no Vicky's)
Ummm, and then I'll clump-together => "the rest" => pennies, nickels and dimes are obviously still valuable and awesome, but other than collecting them via complete proof sets, I haven't really concentarted on these individual coins
NOTE => but "Paper-Money" is my true poison!

It sure do look like the lowly penny is the winner.
