hey thats pretty cool. It's hard to come across coins these days since a lot have been taken out of circulation and then of course, no one uses cash. Collect for precious metals.. hm.. I'm not sure whats in coins but the ones here do not contain anything valuable. They used to have silver in them. Even the pennies were not copper anymore. Perhaps in other countries the use of precious metals might still be a thing. As for stamps. Could be dying thing. Post Office doesn't release as many as they used to, people just don't mail anymore.
