Nice collection Eugene

 

You seem to be collecting more than one from every country. How do you organize all of those? Pages in 3 ring binders, 2x2 boxes or what?

 

Wonderful coins, Eugene.
Thanks for posting.

 

Nice collection. Is there some reason why you chose to focus on Africa? I collect coins and other items from British Guiana, South America, because I lived there in my teens.

 

I like African coins because one of the things that interests me in coins is having something from historic places, especially places that don't exist anymore, and I think there is something neat about a coin from a former colony or exotic place that most people can't find on a map.

 

Congrats on a nice collection!

 

Cannot speak for Eugene of course, but he has posted lots of other coins here, from many different countries. Fortunately he created many different topics (country specific, theme/design specific, etc.) for them, instead of showing them all in one giant topic.

This 1 country the coinage changes a lot and by Decaides as will the maps

 

Here are some of mine. Love these British colony coppers. No brown or black spots (mostly)! Some are dated 1961, 1962, but close to the 1950s...
