I checked my records and see that in the past year I have bought 12 lots of 100 mixed world coins. I recall that about 50% were keepers and the rest culls. I had great fun sorting them out and organizing into my collection. It make it much easier for me to keep participating in some threads like coin uno and world tour when I have so many different world coins.

 

Just to update this thread. I have coins from 70 different counties in this batch. List to follow.

 

Unbelievable to me that I have so many different countries represented!
If I ever go to Jamaica or Ecuador I'll be stylin' ! Got bucket loads of coins for them!

 

Vatican city?!

 

Yep! They made coins!

 

I know they're the richest bank in the world, but wasn't aware they made coin. Pretty cool

 

Here it is......Only one I have ever seen. Depicts god creating Eve from Adam's rib.

 

Hey! That looks Pope John Paul! And over there are George, and Ringo!

Vatican City made coins parallel in value to the pre-Euro Italian Lira, I believe.
Some of them have quite low mintages, so they can be worth keeping a lookout for.
I think this may have been a junk bin find of mine.
