Is there a correct name for coin collecting?

May 31, 2010 - 4:20 pm 5 Comments

I’m an avid coin collector and have countless coins from all countries and ages,
Is there a particular name used for this hobby, or is it simply known as coin collecting?

Thank you for your help :)

The scientific study of coins is known as "numismatics".

A numismatist is a coin collector
