Collecting Coins
Numismatics is the science, study and collection of coins, medals, and similar objects. It is believed to be the oldest hobby known.

People have been collecting coins for over two thousand years – as long as coins have existed. For some, coin collecting is a hobby and for others it is a driving passion. But for all of them, coin collecting is a challenging and satisfying pastime. Anyone can get involved easily and inexpensively.


Why Collect?

There are many reasons why people choose to collect coins. Many collectors simply appreciate the coins beauty and enjoy creating a unique and valuable heirloom to pass onto future generations.

Others appreciate the historical value of coins. Coins reflect changes in society, culture and technology and through them we are able to trace history. As one of our collectors said:

"There’s something in being able to hold coins in your hands which could have belonged to Julius Caesar or have been in the pocket of someone on the First Fleet."

For whatever reason people choose to collect coins, all agree that it is a pastime that is interesting, rewarding and timeless. Numismatics never goes out of style, and it is a hobby that produces a valuable heirloom for centuries.

Every year the Dunston Mint releases new and exciting coins for the collector.
