What is numismatics
The numismatics It is the science that is responsible for study the collecting of coins, banknotes, medals and other objects related to value preservation and economic exchanges. It derives from the Latin numismatis, a variant of nomisma which means coin.
In modernity, this term is assigned to the scientific study of money in all its forms, from coins to pieces of historical, cultural or artistic nature that may have a high value when it comes to exchange or conservation in itself. A difference with collectors is that numismatists, in addition to the pleasure of preserving objects, are interested in their history and the acquisition of knowledge about them.
