I only have base metal coins (and some silver) from previous Olympics. I find that the über-expensive gold and silver coins to not be worth collecting. There are a couple of nickel (or german silver) coins for Solchi. I have a complete set of Soviet I ruble coins from 1980.
The obverse side of the coins depicts the relief image of the State Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation and a semicircular inscription over it "РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ" (THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION).
