Going on vacation is something that everybody looks forward to – recharging your batteries, sleeping in late, not doing much else than exploring new countries and areas, these are all activities typical of a vacation. One integral part of every vacation is buying souvenirs from whichever place you visit. This is something that sounds very nice at first, until you realize how big of a toll it can take on your wallet. Instead, why not consider using all that paper money from other countries to start your very own collection and venture into coin and paper money collecting?

Why Not Start Off with an Easy Scrapbook?

Many folks like to put together scrapbooks and albums after different events, including traveling. Even if you’re not that into collecting different paper items solely for the purposes of setting up a scrapbook, it might be a good start that can later set you off on your very own coin collecting journey. Start off by getting your hands on different denominations of paper money from your travels and comprise a scrapbook from all of them. As you continue your travels, simply keep adding more interesting foreign paper money and your collection will grow as a result.

Don’t Limit the Collection to Your Entries Alone

Using a self-made scrapbook to start off your very own paper money collection is a good way to get into coin and paper money collecting. On the other hand and depending on how often you travel and have the opportunity to get in touch with interesting foreign currencies, the process may drag on for longer than you initially planned it to. That is where friends and family can jump in by simply joining in and bringing back other interesting paper money specimens for you to add to your scrapbook.

Why Start Off With a Scrapbook?

The answer is simple – it is one of the most affordable, fun and interesting ways of becoming a coin and paper money collector. It doesn’t require you to spend a huge amount of money at once getting your hands on valuable and rare pieces, and at the same time, it provides you with the added benefit of traveling to different countries and enjoying the trip. If you’re looking for the best way to start off your first coin/paper money collection, a scrapbook is among the most practical, cost-effective and fun ways to go about it.
