Scripophily refers to the study and collection of stock and bond certificates, representing a niche area within numismatics that emphasizes the aesthetic appeal and historical significance of these documents. Many stock certificates are adorned with intricate engravings, and in some instances, vintage stock certificates may retain value as shares in a successor company. The interest in scripophily began to flourish around 1970, with the term itself originating from a combination of English and Greek roots. The word "scrip" signifies a right of ownership, while "philos" translates to love. Currently, there exists a global community of thousands of collectors, known as scripophilists, who actively pursue rare, unique, and sought-after stocks and bonds. This pastime attracts individuals from diverse backgrounds, with some enthusiasts also considering scripophily as a viable investment opportunity.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
