Coins collecting - why do we need a hobby?

It's great to have a passion – it brings us a lot of joy and satisfaction, and it's through passion that we fulfill ourselves and grow. It influences our creativity and our health, both physical and mental. It helps us cope with stress and maintain a balance between our professional and personal lives. For us, one of our passions is collecting coins, and in this post, we want to inspire you with it.

At the Mint of Gdansk, the selection of collectible coins is truly vast, and everyone will find something for themselves in our showroom – fans of cinema, literature, sports, mythology, travel, animals, and even space. You will find coins with Warner Bros. characters, the likeness of Robert Lewandowski, scenes from the "Witcher" book series, the figure of Joan of Arc, Juno, or the Rusalka. There are also dinosaurs, Slavic beasts, various animals – even a panda with a piece of meteorite!

Why is it worth collecting coins?

1. History and culture: Coins are carriers of the history and culture of different nations. Collecting coins allows you to delve into the past, learn about different civilizations, historical events, and personalities commemorated on coins.

2. Education: Coin collecting is an excellent educational tool. You can learn geography, history, and discover more about numismatics (the study of coins).

3. Unique specimens: Finding a unique coin or a rare numismatic error can be truly exciting. Owning such a coin can be a source of pride and a valuable investment.

4. Creativity: Coin collecting allows you to develop creativity by organizing your collection. You can choose collection themes, series that interest you, and create attractive presentations.

5. Travel and learning about other cultures: Coins from different parts of the world allow you to explore different cultures, traditions, and customs. Searching for and collecting coins can be an excuse to travel and discover new places.

6. Investment: Some coins can increase in value over time, especially those with limited mintages or special historical significance. Collectors often see this hobby as a form of investment.

7. Entertainment: Coin collecting can be a relaxing activity that allows you to disconnect from daily stress and brings a lot of joy and satisfaction.

8. Community: There are many numismatic clubs and associations where you can meet people with similar interests. It's a great opportunity to make new friends and exchange knowledge.

9. Family legacy: Passing down your coin collection from generation to generation can be an important part of family heritage and history.

10. Collectible coins can be a great gift that can kickstart a beautiful collecting passion. At the Gdańsk Mint, there are commemorative numismatics available for birthdays, weddings, or the birth of a child. Who said you couldn't start collecting from a very young age?

Our mission is to promote collecting. The passion that unites us is collecting and investing in the art contained in precious metals. Beautifully crafted silver and gold coins with low mintages are the objects of our interest. Many of them bring joy of ownership, admiration, and financial benefits.
