If there was an International Currency, would you collect it?

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

A single global currency is not a new idea by any means. But if such a thing existed, do you think that you would collect it? Or would your decision to collect or not ultimately depend on something like design?

[World Colonial]

When (not if) it comes into existence, I don't believe there is going to be anything to collect. I believe it will be entirely digital.

[okbustchaser]

No, I would use it the same way I currently use American currency--to buy classic American coins.

[BillJones]

I don't do a lot with currency, and what I do have was made in America well over a century ago. The foreign stuff does nothing for me as a collectable.

The foreign stuff does nothing for me as a collectable.

But if it was a true global currency, it wouldn't be foreign.

Collect British sterling up to about 1916 and US dollars thereafter. That should cover the two international currencies.

If the design(s) were interesting, then yes, I would collect it.

Done

I'd collect it as much as I collect the Euro (which is as close to what you suggest as we will see in the near future).

 

By which I mean - I don't and won't collect it. Modern coinage holds little to no interest for me. The only time I bought Euro's was when I went to Europe - and made sure I spent them all before I left.

Probably not since it probably would not be "real" anyway; just some sort of "electronic credits".

if it did happen I certainly would consider it depending on what it looked like and other factors
