A young Ohio entrepreneur is turning a hobby into a successful online business. Blake Alma's passion for coin collecting has spawned Coin Hub, a booming business that's getting noticed all over the country, especially on social media.

Alma, 22, got inspired to collect coins when he was 9-years-old. It happened in a most unlikely place: Sunday church. Alma sang in the children's choir and he would sit next to an older gentleman in the front row.

He pointed to the bill which is framed behind his desk.

Alma said he realized he could turn his hobby into a business during the COVID crisis.

Alma said.

He takes online orders and sells coin protectors, magnifying eyepieces, and other things used by collectors and he's just published a book,

Alma and his brother, Jakob, fulfill orders out of the home Alma's renting in Lebanon.

His brother, Caleb, helps with TikTok live streams. Some videos get more than a million views, scoring Alma a plaque from TikTok and some sponsorship deals.
