In countries such as Vietnam, many local wealthy people have a hobby of collecting, some of whom like ancient tree bonsai and some of whom like antiques. Recently, a man from Ho Chi Minh City has received a lot of attention because he has collected more than 10,000 ancient coins from more than 200 countries in 30 years.
According to Vietnamese media reports on April 10, a wealthy man from Ho Chi Minh City recently attracted much attention because of his collection of ancient coins from various countries.
It is reported that this rich man named Hip, born in Ho Chi Minh City, grew up watching his father collect ancient coins and was affected, so he also began to collect ancient coins from various countries when he grew up.
"My most memorable memory was in 1993, when a Japanese tourist gave me a 100 yen coin, and I was so happy that I became even more obsessed with collecting ancient coins." Heep recalled.
Later, When Hip's father learned of his son's love for ancient coins, he gave him all the belongings he had collected over the years.

Among the ancient coins collected by Hip, the most noteworthy is the nearly 20 monolithic coins from the 1st century to the 19th century, which have high historical value. Among them, the 20-kilogram brass coins from China are very heavy because of their age and have long been integrated with hard rock.
In addition, Hip also shared that so far, he has collected coins from 218 countries and banknotes from 222 countries, of which the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom and China have the largest number and are more collectible.
"These are all things I've worked so hard to find, so no matter who pays the highest price, I'm not going to sell." At the same time, each currency has its own story, which money cannot buy. And I'll continue to collect it for the rest of my life. Heep said.
