# Small Items and Antique Coins of a Auspicious Day * Antique coins, in the process of aging, tend to decrease in number but never increase, making their value less likely to decline (it is said that the value of antique coins has not decreased in the last 27 years). They are known as stable assets with a higher potential for appreciation. Unless lost, stolen, or affected by fire or flood in their storage location, their value will not be lost, and the number of coins decreases after issuance due to disasters or being melted down as metal. Also, since they do not increase, their rarity naturally increases year by year. * There are still few collectors in Japan, but there are already many collectors overseas, and it is a field with active circulation. * Why not start a collection of antique coins, which are called the "strongest defensive assets," on this occasion?
