There are several countries that came to know about it and there were different countries that built numismatic societies or their own, Russia, Canada, Perth and many more. These countries then spread the cultural importance of numismatics into other societies. Therefore it becomes important for you to gain information about different societies and their relation with numismatics.

First society to come into existence was the Royal Numismatic Society, it was founded in the 1830s and it has a varying history of interest in numismatics. The history dates back to the 16th and 17th century; however the history of the presence of the numismatics is recorded way before time.

Tokens are also considered to be a part of the numismatic world. Although they were produced by private companies and were mostly used for toll roads, subways or arcades.

This was a major plot in order to mislead people looking for original US coins, as they could only find tokens and felt heart broken.

Lastly the world internet numismatic society was formed in the late 90s as an online portal for the hobby of kings.
