This is simply the best hobby in the world! Anyone can get into it without major investments of either time or money. Ironic huh? Collecting money can be low cost. Hear me out... I know books on how to collect currency and precious metals can be super boring. I personally love a good fiction novel compared to the normal, stuffy "how to" guide, but this book is meant to be different. Within these pages we will cover each U.S. coin type, error coins, banknote types, error banknotes and precious metals. Learning about investments and currency collection doesn't have to be drab and boring. It can be light, easy and a fun way to connect with friends over something that everyone loves... money! This book is not a price guide. It is a reference guide for general coin, banknote and precious metals information, with details on error coins and bills. This will help in identifying what coin or banknote you have, if it is an error, and how to care for it. If you are a veteran collector, grab this book for a friend and get them into our wonderful hobby! I think many of us want to collect something that could potentially gain in value, but simply don't know where to start. Hopefully my guide will help in that respect! Remember, this used to be referred to as the "hobby of kings and queens", after all. As far as I see it, we are all kings and queens of our own worlds, filled with endless opportunities to thrive within a universe of uncertainties. With this guide, I hope to teach you the knowledge you need to utilize coins, banknotes and precious metals as tools to turn your pocket change into huge profits! Thank you for picking up my guide!
