An Essential Guide for Collectors of China Bonds printed by DHO Enterprise Malaysia, 2012, 208pp with illustrations of many Chinese Bonds. Article relating to Chinese bonds: Scripophily is the study and collection of stock and bond certificates. A specialized field of numismatics, scripophily is an area of collecting due to both the inherent beauty of some historical documents as well as the interesting historical context of each document. Some stock certificates are excellent examples of engraving. Occasionally an old stock certificate will be found which still has value as a stock in a successor company. Scripophily, the collecting of old stocks and bonds, gained recognition as a hobby around 1970. The word \"scripophily\" was coined by combining words from English and Greek. The word \"scrip\" represents an ownership right and the word \"philos\" means to love. Today, there are thousands of collectors worldwide (Scripophilists) in search of scarce, rare, and popular stocks and bonds. Collectors who come from a variety of businesses enjoy this as a hobby, although there are many who also consider scripophily a good investment. Many collectors like the historical significance of old certificates. Others prefer the beauty of older stocks and bonds that were printed in various colors with fancy artwork and ornate engraving. In recent times, Dot com companies and scandals have been particularly popular issuances. A recent addition to the hobby is collecting real, live shares issued in one\'s name. Common companies that issue stock certificates include Walt Disney, Harley-Davidson, McDonald\'s, Starbucks, Google, Ford Motors, Coca-Cola, and Berkshire Hathaway. Again, framing is a popular option for these shares. Read more at Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
