Most of us have spent more than half of our lives living in one particular city or place. We never get a chance to explore other traditions and cultures. Lucky are those who have the privilege to travel all around the world and witness cultures from different corners of the earth. Many of us lack even the basic curiosity to learn and understand these beautiful cultures just because we do not get a chance to travel abroad. In this age of internet, all the information you need is just a click away. All you need to do is search for them and there will be thousands of websites that present the information that you are looking for. But the problem with random information on the internet is that, you cannot really trust their authenticity. Another way of learning about world History and cultures is by collecting coins of the world.

Coins from around the world have been issued by various emperors, kings, rulers under various dynasties. Rare world Coins from the ancient times date back to the 4^th and 5^th Century BC as well. The evolution of mankind over the years can also be closely monitored by studying valuable coins from around the world. From history to politics and economics, numismatics is something that covers everything. The beautiful inscriptions found on different world coins highlight the cultures and traditions of that particular country. Even modern world coins are issued to commemorate certain important events and personalities. When you develop the hobby of building a world coin collection, you are invariably also increasing your knowledge about world history in general.

Apart from that, when you are in the process of finding interesting coins of the world, you might meet or interact with collectors from a different country as well. The more you discuss with them, the more you would understand about the history and cultures of their country. You can also meet these collectors at coin shows and auctions.

So start indulging in this beautiful hobby of collecting world coins so that you don’t have to burn a hole in your pockets for travelling all around the world.
