Coin collecting amazon is the systematic accumulation and study of coins, tokens and paper money. It is one of the world’s oldest hobbies, dating back to at least the Roman era. The earliest account of this hobby is from the author Suetonius (ad 69-122) in his Lives of the Caesars, who recorded that the emperor Augustus was fond of old and foreign coins. By the 17th century, large collections were forming and being studied and cataloged, giving numismatics the status of an academic pursuit.

Whether you’re an experienced collector or a first-timer, the new Coins store will allow you to explore historic collections and rare finds. You can also buy back catalog coins including the 1866 $20 Liberty Head, No Motto discovered in California or hard-to-find precious metals like a 1907 $20.00 Morgan Silver Dollar.

To spend Coins, navigate to any game or app in the Amazon Underground store on your Fire tablet or TV or in the Amazon Appstore for Android devices and look for a “Buy App” button that offers you the option of paying with Amazon Coins or cash. You can also use the same method to give Coins as gifts to other users. Coins that you purchase don’t expire, but promotional Coins earned by completing certain activities (like purchasing a Fire tablet) will expire 12 months after they are awarded to you.
