Today, everything’s about social networking.
No matter what your hobby, occupation, or interest, you likely belong to a social networking site or are looking for ones that cater to your wants.
Like everything else, coin collecting has long been online.
Coin collectors make up quite a large number of people. Millions of people actively collect coins.
Coin collecting clubs are still around and remain popular, but we now also have social network sites and coin forums to bring us all together online so we can:
- Talk about coins
- Show off photos of our coins
- Help each other find out and enjoy more about the hobby we love

I’m the Coin Editor here at TheFunTimesGuide. My love for coins began when I was 11 years old. I primarily collect and study U.S. coins produced during the 20th century.
I’m a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) and have won multiple awards from the NLG for my work as a coin journalist. I’m also the editor at the Florida United Numismatists Club (FUN Topics magazine), and author of Images of America: The United States Mint in Philadelphia (a book that explores the colorful history of the Philadelphia Mint). I’ve contributed hundreds of articles for various coin publications including COINage, The Numismatist, Numismatic News, Coin Dealer Newsletter, Coin Values, and CoinWeek.
I’ve authored nearly 1,000 articles here at The Fun Times Guide to Coins (many of them with over 50K shares), and I welcome your coin questions in the comments below!
