Society & Culture What do you collect?

[hawksfor2010]

I collect coins issued by the Perth Mint. Usually the coin commemorate big moments in history like the series set of famous battles in history. Or even series sets on dangerous Australian animals which was a great set investment wise.

Most people collect something, what is it you collect?

Guitars. Especially acoustic but have a nice range of Electric & half a dozen Bass guitars also. Have been collecting them since my early teens & am very proud of the collection I have. Favourite being a Maton Acoustic which Is personally signed by Tommy Emanuel after having a small jam with him in a Perth Music Store about 10 years ago.

As of two days ago $5 notes.


When I was a kid I collected AFL stickers for a sticker book (circa 1993 iirc), Garbage Gang Stickers and Simpsons Cards. I still have the AFL sticker book (at my parents house).. but I regret the day I threw out the Simpsons Cards. If you turned them over they made a big picture and I had the whole set!!!

Have recently started grabbing pint glasses when going to pubs. (if the glass has a sticker on it with the name of the pub)

Probably the only thing I collect 'religiously' is footy records from games I go to. I probably have 300 to 400 now and I'm only 23.

Only $2800 in seven years?
I usually do two money boxes a year (so they last about six months) and i usually get about $700 out of each.

Yeah, but roughly 3/4 of it was silver. 5c, 10c, 20c, and 50c. By memory was something like $550 in just 20c coins.
