The American Currency Exhibit provides an in-depth look at our country’s currency. It’s worth a look.

One of the first things you learn when you start collecting coins is how to handle the coins. For those of you who are just starting, this is an excellent article to read so you can avoid putting any fingerprints on the faces of your coins.

The US Mint’s kids web site has received accolades from the Washington Times.

I posted about it back in February. The Washington Times is so 2004.

I’ve always been interested in collecting some gold coins, but I thought it would be too expensive. Then I read the following quote in an article I found online.

“One problem with collecting gold, at least in the minds of many collectors, is that it is perceived as too expensive. Let’s put the myth to rest. Let’s find some affordable gold (and we’ll even stay in one series).”

If you would be interested in learning how to collect gold without breaking the bank, Mark Benvenuto’s article is a must read.

Update: I’ve since written an eBook that teaches you how to find out how much your coins are worth. It costs $19.95, but if you use the HOK discount code it’s only $10.

One of the most common questions I receive is, “How much is this coin worth?” It makes sense that people would want to know if the coin they found hidden away in the attic could mean they won’t ever have to work again, but that’s not often the case.

For those of you who would like to answer that question yourself, this site explains the process step by step.

If you have any questions about how the process works, feel free to ask in the comments.
