    One thing I might suggest, is to look through your foreign coins and pick one you think is a cool design. Then, figure out what you need for a smallish set or collection of them, and whenever you are at a shop or coin show, see if you can find any to add cheaply in the grade you desire. Make yourself familiar with them just as you would with a US set, and pay attention to rarities and errors and prices. You just might find that you really enjoy it, and who knows, maybe you will cherrypick one that has value... $$$ wise.
