Where can I find common foreign coins (no special value)?

    I would like to get some foreign coins with holes in them (preferably not much smaller than 1/4 inch), such as specifically Norwegian, Japanese 5 and 50 yen, and there appear to be some from Denmark. I don't need anything with any real value, just present day use coins that are commonly used in circulation. But all I am finding on Google searches is valuable coins. I remember when I was young, there were some 25 cent bubble machines where you could get a few foreign coins but I haven't seen any of those for a long time. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Go to a coin shop and ask to look in the "world coin bin". You would probably find some in there. They usually sell 5 to 10 for a dollar.

    Hmm...There was one coin place not too far away, but I'm not sure if they might have gone out of business a few years back. I will take a look there or try to find another place, thank you.

    May I ask why you want the coins & also how many do you want to get?

    Why not buy a bunch of non-holed and grab a drill? Then the hole can be the exact size you want it.
    Just my $.02.

    I'm building something that needs screws and washers, and some of the washers will be visible. So I thought these kind of coins with the holes in the middles would look much nicer than just a hardware store washer. At least twenty or thirty of them would be nice.

    If you don't mind if there fake, you can get 25 metal replicas for $5.32 from a party website. Just search "chinese good luck coins", you'll find it.

    P.S. I don't know if I can mention the website or post a link. I'm new here and not 100% on the rules.
