    Does anyone else like these things noone else my age seems to?
    I'm 18. I collect stamps, coins and model trains. I don't know anyone else who isn't over 50 who collects these things. Is anyone else out there?

    The reason is they are fairly unsociable hobbies.... Older people do them as they have time and not much to do with it, you shouldn't be at that stage yet........ each to their own tho

    No, but I really want a unique coin....

    Doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, just want to keep it on my person, pretend it's lucky and fool myself into thinking I'm on top form for various stuff... That and flip it some times and pretend its like the ring from the lord of the rings "my precious". Clean it and stare at it every now and again

    I suppose I could do the same thing if I just got a ring

    There is nothing wrong with your hobbies...I'm 17 and I collect pins (mainly from Walt Disney World!) & shells. It's just a matter of what you are interested in, everyone has their own interests. Keep collecting; you never know, one day you might find something that's worth a fortune!

    A metal die? Are the dots engraved into it or painted on? Dots would last longer if they were engraved

    Having a metal die sounds awesome!

    I have a strange habbit of hoarding bottle caps (not the screw on ones) and I'm 17 but I don't put my heart and soul into it mainly because I usually have no time for it

    Loads of people collect stuff. I used to go to Air Cadets and there were a few guys there who were a fan of making models and stuff.

    At least you do things you like and are passionate about, not just because it's popular like a lot of people

    I used to collect coins but then my collection got stolen by the removal men when I moved house. I still collect fridge magnets and postcards though.

    I love model trains. I don't collect them, but I am fascinated by them, and generally any dioramas. I'd love to make or paint models, if only I had the space. My boyfriend likes going in model shops as well, though he likes the model planes and I like the model soldiers. Its a bit of a nerdy date to be honest
