When I was a teenager, I had the chance to spend a few weeks in Europe. It was a time I enjoyed completely and one that I will always remember. While in Europe, visiting the many countries I traveled to, I had the chance to put aside a small amount of money as collectibles. They were not considered rare coin numismatics at the time and in truth, I really was not saving these coins with an eye on the future as much as I wanted something outside of photographs to remind me of my journey. However, now that many of those countries have abandoned their former currency for a centralized currency, the Euro, maybe I am holding some future rare items. Who knows?
