If you are thinking about starting the fun hobby of coin collecting there are a few basics you should learn that will help you get started on the right foot and might even save you some money.
One problem (if you can call it that) with coin collecting is that there are so may different types of coins to collect that a novice might but be overwhelmed and get frustrated. Relax, this has happened to many others before you and the fact is most coin collectors specialize in certain types of coins as there is no way unless you are extremely wealthy that you could collect every coin ever made from around the world.
Even though the U.S. State Quarter Program has been enormously popular I think that there are so many people collecting them that it will be a long time before they become very valuable. Still, they are a really good way to begin coin collecting especially if you are on a tight budget.
Personally, I would suggest starting with U.S. coins like the Penny, Nickel and Dime but the neat thing about collecting coins is that you can choose to collect whatever interests you. If you like Franklin Half Dollars then go ahead and start collecting them. Just remember the odds are pretty slim you will be finding one in your change anytime soon.
Go to your local hobby store and look for the coin collecting section where you will find some basic items like coin folders to store your budding collection. These are cheap and work very well when just starting out. Buy a few books on coins to help you learn about the different coins that have been minted and how they are graded and their current values.
With all collectibles the better the condition of the item the more it is worth and coins are no different. Grading coins has evolved into a very exacting science over the years and you must quickly learn how coins are graded and valued or you will become an easy target for unscrupulous coin dealers that take advantage of the beginning coin collector.
Buy a good quality magnifying glass and spend the time to learn how to grade and value coins and you will be much better off in the long run than just blindly taking someone's word for the grade of a coin unless it has been certified and is in a sealed holder.
There is coin collecting software available for organizing collections but if you are just starting out save your money for building your collection with quality coins and as your collection grows look at getting a software package to help manage your collection.
Try and buy the best quality coins you can afford as higher grade coins are worth more and appreciate in value faster but don't feel like you need to have the highest grade coins immediately. Part of the fun of coin collecting is always trying to improve your collection with a better grade of coin whether you found it in change, bought it or traded for it.
Start slowly and learn as much as you can about coin collecting before spending any significant amount of money and you will be happier in the long run. Coin collecting can be a lifelong pursuit that is extremely rewarding so don't rush and enjoy the journey.

The Coin Exchange Problem by Leher, Eli [Paperback] $103.56 Suppose our monetary system used only coins of the values 5 and 8. Which bills could we exchange using only these coins? How many sums are impossible to get? More generally, let a,b,...,n be natural numbers (the values of the coins). The set of all natural combinations of these numbers is a numerical semigroup. Our goal is to determine the structure of this semigroup. This question, known as the coin exchange problem or the Frobenius problem, captured the imagination of many mathematicians ever since it was first proposed by Sylvester in 1884. If we use only 2 kinds of coins, the answer is quite simple, but the case of 3 or more turns out to be much more complicated and interesting. This book presents the problem in a clear and vivid way, and shows an ingenious simple method to solve it. The main parameters of the problem, including the Frobenius number and genus, are explained and discussed. Finally, the book presents the surprising link between numerical semigroups and cyclotomic polynomials. The subject, as well as the clever solution and clear presentation, make this book a delight to anyone interested in mathematics, professionals and amateurs alike.

Checking Whether a Coin Is Fair $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In statistics, the question of checking whether a coin is fair is one whose importance lies, firstly, in providing a simple problem on which to illustrate basic ideas of statistical inference and, secondly, in providing a simple problem that can be used to compare various competing methods of statistical inference, including decision theory. The practical problem of checking whether a coin is fair might be considered as easily solved by performing a sufficiently large number of trials, but statistics and probability theory can provide guidance on two types of question; specifically those of how many trials to undertake and of the accuracy an estimate of the probability of turning up heads, derived from a given sample of trials. A fair coin is an idealized randomizing device with two states (usually named heads and tails ) which are equally likely to occur. It is based on the coin flip used widely in sports and other situations where it is required to give two parties the same chance of winning.

Three Prisoners Problem $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Three Prisoners problem appeared in Martin Gardners Mathematical Games column in Scientific American in 1959. It is mathematically equivalent to the Monty Hall problem with car and goat replaced with freedom and execution respectively, and also equivalent to, and assumedly based on, Bertrands box paradox. Out of three prisoners scheduled to be executed, A, B, and C, one of them will be pardoned. A asks the warden to tell him the name of one of the others who will be executed. As the question is not directly about As fate, the warden obliges either naming the other prisoner to be executed, if A is the one, or secretly flipping a coin to decide which of the remaining names to give A if A is the one being pardoned. Assuming the wardens truthfulness, there are now only two possibilities for who will be pardoned: A, and whichever of B or C the warden did not name. Did A gain any information as to his own fate, that is, does he change his estimate of the chances he will be pardoned? To make the analogy to the Monty Hall problem more explicit: if the warden says B will be executed and A could switch fates with C, should he?
