Are you interested in coin collection as a hobby and the fun of it or do you plan on becoming a professional in the field? The higher the interest, the higher amounts of money you can plan on spending to pursue your interest. There are many ways to collect coins, you could collect foreign coins, especially if you or a friend travel a lot. Collect coins by the year; find a coin that interests you, find out when it was first made and collect one from every year that it was minted. Or collect coins that have mistakes on them such as coins that have been struck twice or are off center.
Check the change in your pocket and keep an eye out for anything that interests you, even if it isn't worth anything. Invest in something to keep your coins in to keep the coins from getting scratched or damaged. Find a good book on coin collecting that shows you the coins and their worth. When you are looking for coins there are several things to consider. Don't pay too much for a coin, do your research and learn what the market value is on the coin you are interested in. It is a good idea to get a professional dealer to help you and join a local coin collecting club.
Don't be too selective when you first start out, if it looks interesting to you then go with it; there will be time enough to become selective after you have discovered exactly where you true interest in coins lie.
