Known as the "Hobby of Kings", modern coin collecting is generally believed to have begun in the fourteenth century with the Italian scholar and poet Petrarch.Coin collectors often begin by saving coins they have received in circulation but found interesting. These may be the remnants of change from an international trip or an old coin found in circulation.
Stamp or coin collecting is a universal hobby. People collect not only for what they are worth in themselves but also for their designs, the stories they tell, the events they commemorate, and the sidelights they throw on the production of stamps. In fact, postage stamps are “the windows of a nation through which people overseas may behold its heritage and nature”. They reflect every aspect of a nation’s life including its trade, history, art, crafts and natural history.
Stamp collecting is now far from just a hobby; it is a subject of serious study. The study of stamps leads its enthusiasts to the study of geography, history and the natural life of various countries. An album of stamps can, therefore, be a book of knowledge as well as a book of original research.
