# Accessories and Antique Coins for a Special Day * Antique coins are known as stable assets whose value is unlikely to decrease (it is said that the value of antique coins has not decreased in the past 27 years) and is more likely to increase, as their numbers decrease over time. Unless lost, stolen, or damaged by fire or flood, their value will not disappear, and their numbers only decrease 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?
