coin collector
Amasses metal money
A coin collector is someone who gathers and studies coins as a hobby or investment.
The term is straightforward—describing the activity rather than using the more formal *numismatist*.
Coin collectors may focus on historical periods, specific countries, or mint errors: My grandfather was an avid coin collector who specialized in ancient Roman currency.
