There are no collisions on a serial link. Collisions happen on networks that use CSMA, including Ethernet, 802.11 wireless, LocalTalk, and Aloha.
The programmers for "show int" use a template that doesn't remove the collision count when the interface is a serial interface. We have discussed this before. See the archives. If you are asked a question on a test such as "what would you do if you saw a non-zero collision count when viewing 'show interface serial' results," the right answers would be something like "get your glasses checked" or "check the IOS bug database."
