From mongo docs here: data modeling

In certain situations, you might choose to store information in several collections rather than in a single collection.

Consider a sample collection logs that stores log documents for various environment and applications. The logs collection contains documents of the following form:

{ log: "dev", ts: ..., info: ... } { log: "debug", ts: ..., info: ...}

If the total number of documents is low you may group documents into collection by type. For logs, consider maintaining distinct log collections, such as logs.dev and logs.debug. The logs.dev collection would contain only the documents related to the dev environment.

Generally, having large number of collections has no significant performance penalty and results in very good performance. Distinct collections are very important for high-throughput batch processing.
