It’s easy and affordable to start a collection with the interesting coins that we find in our change, and as a result it’s something we can all relate to. That’s why this book is focused on the coins in circulation – it’s where most people begin.

Whether you’re a new or seasoned collector, this book has information and images to help your collection. If you’re just getting started with coin collecting, this book will help you to confirm which coins are available and some of the subtle details to look for that can turn coin collecting into a treasure hunt.

Reviews

I first purchased the hard copy & found it extremely informative, especially the large illustrations. On the basis of that, I purchased a digital copy & downloaded it to my laptop & 'phone. Again, very useful & convenient to refer to when 'out & about'.

I've learnt so much from you, my husband has previously bought 2 of your books for me as gifts, everything you promote is very user friendly. I've collected for many years with no real direction, so I have to say thanks for helping me be an informative collector.
