Observing the coin or a bank note carefully
makes oneself feel the thrill of being a numismatist. People become interested

their hands.
Collection of bank notes, make your time
travel freely in your past and present. When one collects the paper currencies

Ravi Somani, being an expert lays out some
guidelines for a bank notes collector. The first step to evaluation is to be
familiar with the characteristics of an original paper note. In order to
evaluate the characteristics of an original paper note, it is essential to have
a common understanding of the printing procedure and the essentials used in
creating the paper notes.
There are number of ways of accumulating
the numismatic collectibles without spending a large fortune on them. One can
begin collecting currencies featuring the legendaries of our country- the
kings, queens, leaders, national emblem. Another way is to consider the
historical context as the main criteria. For example, the British period in
India, the period of the reign of a particular dynasty, the period after independence
etc.
Handling the paper notes carefully is the
next after the collection.
Bank notes or paper notes are made using
paper. One must hold the notes with clean hands, to prevent transfer of oil or
any dirt onto the paper. Food and beverages must be kept away to avoid spilling
on the valuable bank notes. As the expected life of paper money is proportional
to the careful handling of the paper money.
To invest in old coins and bank notes is
much better to invest in gold which is unreachable to most of the people these
days.
Gold can be still found in the goldmines
but on the other hand, these old currencies are no more to be found as they are
issued in a limited quantity. The scarcity of these numismatic collectibles
leads to ascend the price of these coins and notes. Collecting old coins and
notes have become today a unique and an interesting plus profiteering hobby.
People are always in search of new leisure pursuits. This hobby gives you
pleasure and earnings. So what’s better than this?
