Collecting coins is a hobby dating back to antiquity and since gold coins were one of the oldest forms of money this is especially relevant to gold collectors.

Gold is retained by investors that speculate that the demand will cause its market value to increase. Others hold it as a form of insurance should the financial situation become worse. Before the 1970s, the more paper money that was made, the higher the price of gold which maintained gold and cash as equal value.

When you acquire a gold coin, you enjoy the benefits associated with the hobby (beauty, tangibility) and also the benefits of making an investment when you purchase at an opportune time.
