Buy some coin folders if you do not already own a few. The folders that you purchase will depend on the denomination of coins you are seeking. Folders with removable windows are best if you wish to be able to fully protect your coins and view both the front and back of them. They are, however, more expensive than the simple folders with open coin slots.
Set aside $10.00 to make your first investment. Although money is required to begin this process, the actual coins you collect will only cost you their face value.
Visit your local bank and request any amount of coin rolls that you wish to purchase. Pennies are best when you first start because the rolls are only 50 cents each. With a $10.00 investment, you will be able to purchase 20 rolls.
Look through the coins that you purchased and pick out the ones that fit in the open slots of your coin books. Set aside any coins that you do not wish to keep or already own. Always be on the lookout for older coins and coins that have malfunctions on the front. In 1984, the Lincoln penny was printed with two ears on one side. Finding this coin can net you a tidy profit or enhance your collection.
Return the coins that you did not use to the bank for cash. You may use the money to buy more rolls of coins to further build up your collection. If you inform the bank teller that you are a coin collector, they will be understanding and might know of some specific rolls that will be more likely to contain the coins for which you are looking.

How to Set Up a Calling Card BusinessIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Develop a business plan that identifies your connection suppliers and outlines your technical setup. Your plan should contain a comprehensive budget and profit/loss sheet. It should also be able to illustrate your target market so you can best decide which strategy to employ to penetrate that market.
Obtain funding from banks, investments firms or angel investors. Your business plan will go a long way in proving to investors that you have researched your business and that it will provide them with a return on their investment.
Choose a system that will power the telecommunications aspect of your calling card business. Ready-made software solutions such as CardSaver are available for purchase. Alternatively, outsource a freelance programmer or programming team to develop a custom software solution for your business. The money you choose to invest in your software will depend on the intended scope of your business.
Arrange server hosting with a professional hosting company. Your home Internet connection will not be robust enough to handle the demands of a telecommunications business. The number of servers you need to purchase will depend on your business's customer call volume. The more calls that take place at the same time, the more servers you need to keep the service operational.
Purchase airtime from a long-distance telecommunications carrier and divide your airtime up among your calling cards. The mechanics of the business involve buying airtime in bulk from your long-distance carrier and then selling fractions of that airtime for more money. Usually, the more minutes you buy at once, the more money you can save, provided you are able to sell the airtime before it expires.
Contact a printing agency to print your calling cards. They should be able to provide samples of their work to ensure you will be satisfied with the quality. It is important that the silver strip on the back of the calling cards can be easily removed with a coin without damaging the PIN number that it covers.
Contact retailers who can sell your calling cards for you, as most tourists won't want to spend time searching for your business directly. The most calling card throughput will be seen in high-tourism areas, such as souvenir shops and hotels.
