Treasury Overhauls Circulating Coins

Today, coin collecting is known as the “King of Hobbies.” That’s because it is one of the oldest and most popular pastimes. I’m not just talking about in one specific location. coin collecting is a worldwide hobby and has gained popularity amongst all classes of people in many different countries.

Back in the times of Ancient Rome there were scholars, historians, and state treasurers who collected coins from all across the Roman Empire to catalogue them and study them. This was done mainly so they could know who was minting coins and study the histories of different regions. After all, coins in these days bore the face of the local rulers as well as the Roman Emperor.

That does not mean that individuals in this time did not collect coins. Some of the wealthier citizens collected older coins as forms of art they could carry in their pockets. Some of these coins were quite beautiful and can still be found in archaeological sites today.
