Hello, I’m a fellow maximalist as well as a super nerd for culture/travel/history/nature/art. Since I was a child, before starting my travels, I’ve grown a big collection of foreign currency (bills and coins), stamps, post cards, etc.! Looking for help with ways to display them ALL.

Stamps: Photo #1 was when I was a teenager, my last attempt at displaying some of my stamps. They are in plastic sleeves for protection designed to fit in a book. I decided this looked a little too cheap for my taste. Photo #2 is old, but basically how they’re displayed now… I hate it. I want to display them.

Currency: Photo #2 is also my paper currency in sleeves. Same issues as the stamps. Post cards not pictured, but again, same. 

Photo #3 is the best idea I’ve come across to display my random coins… $30 isn’t bad but I would love to find a cheaper option.

I love DIY but am hoping for a more sleek, put together look. Maximalist amount of decor but minimalist style perhaps..? And ideally, they would all be visible and wall mounted, as I live in a mini A-frame cabin now. I’ve considered shadow boxes/double glass frames for all of these, but I dont have a spare $500! Any ideas appreciated and welcome. Thank you!

Collection display ideas needed!
