If ya wanna get inta coin collecting, get Canadian coins.

Paper money can be extremely valuable.
The trick tho is to find a reliable certifiable source to buy them from.
Stamps too. How do you know they're authentic?
With all the technology available, Counterfeiting must be a problem.
I'd only buy them if they were certified as authentic by a recognized grading service and then cased in sealed plastic, eh?

These, however, are simply just bought and sold based on the value of the precious metals that they're made from. Tax free, I should add! (often impossible to prove capital gains on physical metals)...

Of course I'm dealing with typical white kids that have never ever been taught even the basics of finances, nor ever care to learn, so the concept blew right over all their heads. Oh well...

I've owned Canadian Silver and Gold coins... They are considered some of the purest in the world.Quote from: "Chuck Bronson"
Yeah they are. Of the coins avaiable, they are thought of as a 'Gold Standard'.
People from other nations buy Canadian gold and hold it in high regard.
From what I understand, counterfeiting is rare.
When you buy them they are often sealed in the original plastic and sometimes a certicate of authenticity.
Some other nations are kind of iffy.
China is known to have lots of fakes and counterfeit coins including gold ones.
So you may be buying a gold colored slug with a lead or zinc core.
Possibly the only way to avoid fakes is to order it directly from their mint.
But you never know ordering stuff of supposed value fron a country like that.
Always best to be locally from a reputable dealer if possible or directly from the canadian mint if possible

This is possibly one of the best looking coins ever made, the 1967 Canadian gold $20. I wanna own one. I know its a peculiar obsession but that coin imho is a work of art.
