Coin collection is one of the oldest
known hobbies. In the past it was often enjoyed by kings and scholars. It is
also a pleasant way of saving. The designs (图案) on coins tell
many stories. The coins of a country often are a record of its history and
geography (地理) . Some old coins tell us all we know about a country or a period
of history. Coins tell us about the art, dress and hairstyles (发型) of people who
lived long ago. To get the most enjoyment from your hobby of
coin collecting, read as much as you can on the subject. Try to form a group of
collector friends. If you have an old or foreign coin, find out where and when
it was made, its name and value, and what you could have bought with it when it
was in use. Never clean a coin unless it is caked with dirt.
Clean away the dirt with soap and warm water. Do not use anything hard. This
will damage both the looks and value of the
coin.
