Most pages are in place, but content is not complete.</CENTER> </P> <HR> <P> <B><U>Welcome!</U></B><BR> Hello and welcome to my site! If you collect circulation coins, or just want to know more about circulation coins then you've come to the right place. This is a very new site and nowhere near complete, but it is coming along fast so I hope it is of some use now, and you'll come back soon!<BR> </P> <P> <B><U>What is this site all about then?</U></B><BR> I collect coins, and this is my collection, or rather it will be when finished. This site aims to be a resource for people interested in knowing a little more about the coins they may have collected, be they some coins your grandma brought back from holiday once, some old coins grandad found in the attic, or even a precious gold coin bought only yesterday. Most coins have a story behind them and they don't have to be valuable or rare to be interesting. </P> <P> <B><U>Where are the proof coins then?</U></B><BR> There not here. I consider proof coins relatively boring. That's not to say anyone is wrong to collect them, they are by far the more valuable, but in my mind they are somewhat fake. The thing is proof coins are produced purely for collectors to collect. Only a few are made simply to inflate their value, in much the same way as the shiney football stickers were when you were a kid (or rare cigerette cards for the older readers :-) ). </P> <P> <B><U>So what sort of collectors is this site for?</U></B><BR> The sort of collectors that everyone has a fad for. The people who save the coins when they go abroad, or the people who have kept those old coins from before decimalisation. Particularly the people who collect coins not to make money, but just for interest sake.</P> <P> I started collecting coins when I was little, when on holiday abroad I would try save one of each coin, as I got older I forgot about these coins I save, until one day I returned to them. Since then I've been hooked collecting small change from around the world. Every coin is different and every coin has a story behind it. As I find more about each coin I'll put it on here. </P> <HR> <P> If you see a coin you are interested in, or want to make any comments or suggestions for the site, please <A HREF="mailto:mjac2@cam.ac.uk">email me</A> </P> <P> Navigate using the menu on the left. </P> <P> Content is being added throughout the day over the coming weeks, so keep checking back! </P> <P> 42 coins so far... </P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE>
