I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

Hobby: reading and answering some Y!A's interesting questions.
I do during freetime: lie on my bed watch some latest (pirated but clear copied) movies on DVD with chips on my side to go.

I like to spend as much time as I can with the ones I love. At any moment a life can end and I want to live my life as guilt free as possible. It has fulfilled me greatly and because this unique hobby includes others, we do a lot of different things other than waist our precious time.
