There are a lot of types of collecting. Bonistic should be called as one of the most popular at the moment. In a sense, it is similar to numismatics, only in this case, not coins are collected, but paper money. Such banknotes far from this type of collecting may seem completely unknown, since some are very rare.
Sometimes there are paper money, which could rightly be called a work of art, since they are characterized by the presence of very subtle and well -thought -out protective equipment that excludes the manufacture of high -quality fakes. But the overall beauty of the registration of rare banknotes is also at a high level.
The specificity of the bonistics is that the collector can very deeply study the sphere that he chose, because the first paper money appeared relatively recently. Therefore, bonisticism opens up wide opportunities, but is not something absolutely unleasable. Therefore, the spread of this hobby is gaining more and more. But there are some quite serious restrictions in this area.
Paper money differs in that it is stored with fairly great difficulty. It is this fact that acts as the main problem of bonistics. If the coins that were minted in XIX in. It is not so difficult to find, then with paper banknotes the situation is much harder. Actually, it is almost impossible to find them today.
Only you need to take into account the fact that bonistics should be considered as a fairly expensive pleasure. The fact is that banknotes are usually very expensive, and their offer is small. Therefore, not everyone can afford to collect an impressive collection of old paper money. This is only possible for truly wealthy people.
