   In the aggregate, money can never be created within a hobby, it can only be sloshed around.

   In absolute terms, I disagree. If, by some bizarre twist of fate one thousand multi-millionaires suddenly developed an insatiable desire for coins, huge money would flow into the hobby and the market value of everything would rise.
