[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1086070, member: 39"]Hmm, "obsolete" is a little misleading, I think. Take these three from your list for example: This UK 50p coin (older/large type) was demonetized more than ten years ago. Theoretically a bank may accept the piece, give you current cash for it, and take the coin to the Royal Mint which will then refund it. Practically ... well, will be tough. The German piece you can always take to a branch office of the Bundesbank and get current cash for it. If you add the three coins from DE, the total is 12 pfennig, and for that you would get ... 6 cent. The French 1 franc can no longer be redeemed, and thus has (little) collector value only. (By the way, the 1992 Russian 3-ruble coin would be worth 0.3 kopecks in today's currency. Don't know whether it can still be redeemed.) If anybody had lots of these, it may well be worth checking what can still be used or redeemed, and which ones cannot. In a case like this, however, I would just focus on the value for collectors.
