Editing Keychain (section)

== As a collectible item ==
The most popular focused keychain collections are advertising, souvenir, monument, popular characters and nostalgia-related items.{{cn|date=March 2024}} Keychains are typically not made specifically for collecting on large scale, and do not hold their value as well as other collections. A standard keychain that was purchased for ten dollars new may only be worth less than a dollar once it has been owned regardless of condition.

Collectors display and store their keychains in several different ways. Some collections are small enough that the collector can place all of their keychains on their standard key ring. Some larger collections can be stored and displayed on dowels, cork boards, tool racks, on large link chains, in display cases, hung on walls, or displayed on Christmas trees. Some collections are large enough that entire rooms are dedicated to the keychain collection.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
