What Makes a Coin 'Rare'?

A coin becomes rare when there are very few of them left. Imagine if only one person in your class had a special golden pencil, that’s how rare coins feel! Sometimes, coins become rare because they were made a long time ago, or because not many people kept them safe over the years.
