He got keenly interested in the British Empire and liked stamps of these countries up to years 1955 or 1956 because of the intricate designs and printing. On the other hand, Prince Rainier III, believes that stamps are a constant embodiment of a nations heritage and development. He also plays an active role in all the philatelic issues produced and right down to choosing the subject, the size and format, and the careful checking of the color proofs. Tony Blair owns Russian coins, valued at 200. In Hollywood, Jay Leno is considered the biggest car collector and he rives a different car or bike on his way to work everyday.
