Surrounded by a camera, a computer and a ring light in the upstairs office of his self-proclaimed "bachelor pad," Justin Couch's face lights up and he becomes full of energy. He begins his YouTube videos by getting straight to the point, showing different coins that are worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars, and explaining why to his 419,000-plus subscribers. Most of the videos are under 10 minutes long and leave you wanting to pick your pocket to see if your spare change might lead to instant fortune.

The 31-year-old's interest in currency was piqued by his grandmother when he was a child. Couch, who grew up in Ludlow and now lives in Florence, later became fascinated by YouTube in college and it inspired him to study electronic media and broadcasting at Northern Kentucky University. After graduating, he thought he would end up using his degree to help someone else behind the scenes, but when that didn't pan out, Couch thought he might as well try it all on his own.

History is what really fascinates Couch about coin collecting.

With a following that grows more every day, he might just have to get used to that.
