Three initiatives from AUREA Numismatika. „Second life“ reuses cases, boxes and packing material instead of letting them become waste. A companion piece explains why reuse beats recycling and how we go about it in practice. „Treasures from the past“ gives a further life to old auction catalogues and reference literature, which have themselves become source material.
Three small but genuine initiatives through which we give things a longer life and numismatics a wider context. A second life for accessories, boxes and old catalogues.
Initiative
When a used case or bubble wrap finds a new owner too. Our shop always has some used numismatic supplies on offer at token prices — cases, capsules, small boxes. We save space at the landfill and you save money.
Initiative
Every box we send on gets a "Try reusing me" sticker. We collect them from staff and suppliers and put them back into circulation. We also try to recycle fillers and anything else that can still serve a purpose.
Initiative
Old auction catalogues are for sale in our shop at token prices. At the same time we are building an archive of our past auctions, so that numismatic history is available to everyone. Every catalogue has its own story.
