favourite thing that people do during their free time. When everyone
talk about hobby , most of people in our country will imagine hobby

did not realize that hobby is something that so valuable to someone
who really know how to appreciate it. hobby is most interesting thing

PAPER MONEY AND BANK NOTE
I want to share some
knowledge to all readers about history where paper money and bank
note invented. The first paper money was invented by the Chinese
around A.D 650, a manuscript tells of a paper note issued in china
around those time. The oldest existing collectible paper note dates
from 1368 and is from the MING DYNASTY. This note is huge measuring
approximately 9”x 13”. Its paper was made from the inner bark of
the MULBERRY TREE. The first true European bank note was issued in
1661 by a private bank in Sweden, while the paper money in the New
World was issued in 1690 in Massachusetts Bay Colony (one of the
earliest New England settlements in present-day Massachusetts).
Paper money is an exciting
because notes are colourful, informative, and attractive. You can
learn about art, economics, and even technology by studying paper
money and the stories behind it. Plus, it’s also a genuine artefact
of the past, capturing exciting areas in our country and world
history. As far as the hobby itself, the serious, organized
collecting of paper money dates back to the early to mid-20th
century. Today, it’s one of the fastest growing areas of
numismatics. Collecting world paper also let’s you travel all
around the globe without leaving comforts of your home. When you
collect world paper money you explore different culture, places,
countries, and continents, get to know many famous people, learn
about nature, animals, birds rivers and lakes that are plentiful in
seven continents of our Earth. Collecting world paper money teaches
you arts, geography, history, foreign languages even politics. Once
you assemble, maintain your world currency bank note collection, you
kind of become a stockholder of the entire world’s economy.
COINS
The oldest coins available
today was discovered in Ephesus, an ancient Hellenic city and
prosperous trading centre on the coast of Asia minor. Made from
electrum, a natural occurring alloy of gold and silver, the coins
originated in the area of Lydia and more than 2,700 years old making
it one of the very earliest coins. It had a design on one side only,
a result of the primitive method of manufacture. Coins
are pieces of hard material used primarily as a medium of exchange or
legal tender. They are standardized in weight, and produced in large
quantities at a mint in order to facilitate trade. They are most
often issued by a government.
Coins are usually metal or
alloy, or sometimes made of synthetic materials. They are usually
disc shaped. Coins made of valuable metal are stored in large
quantities as bullion coins. Other coins are used as money in
everyday transactions, circulating alongside banknote, these coins
are usually worth less than banknotes, usually the highest value coin
in circulation is worth less than the lowest-value note. In the last
hundred years, the face value of circulation coins has occasionally
been lower than the value of the metal they contain, for example due
to inflation.
So today I want to share
to everyone one of the most precious thing in my life. My hobby is
collecting old money from worldwide. Its begin when I was in standard
1, my brother brought me to saw one of the event that have been
handled by his friends. In that event, I saw all type of old paper
and coin money with unique design and art that captivated my eyes
from the moment my eyes contact with the collecting money inside that
showcase. During that event my brother told me every details about it
and what makes it more interesting is my brother buy one of the
collector money and gave it to me. My brother also one of those
collector that inspired me to start this hobby until now. Its makes
me how important the history is and how people in previous era use
money wisely.
Here is some of my
collection from our country that I have been keep it from the
beginning I start this hobby. The conclusion is, whatever your hobby
is you should proud of it because not everyone have their own hobby
during their free time and it also because we can voice out our
feeling through our hobby. Have a good day readers.
