I always wanted to with rare curreny but just never got started past a few coins. I had the dinominations of the Irish pound before the euro took over from specific dates like my birth year but I've no idea where they are and even if I found them I can't imagine expanding them. I'd say it would be beyond my means as a hobby.

I had complete pre-Euro sets of many European currencies (West-German D-Marks/Pfennige, East-German Marks/Pfennige, French Francs/Centimes, Spanish Pesetas, Italian Lira, UK Pounds/Shillings/Sixpence/Pennies, Austrian Schillinge/Groschen, Swiss Franken, Netherland Gulden/, Greek Drachmen, Swedish Kronen, Czech Kronen...) from vacations, but I can only find a few dozens of single coins... and an unopened Euro-Starter-Set from 2002:

Nice. Some really old coins there too, I'd love to be able to see the path one of these coins took through people and places and how often they came back around to the same people in the space of decades it was going.
