[QUOTE="wd40, post: 1341476, member: 33371"]Having a set of the year that you traveled to the country in is not possible "depending on the countries that you visit", because many countries do not issue yearly sets, or even yearly coins to begin with. in other countries proof and mint sets are rare, or expensive, for example my country "Bahrain - it is in the middle east by the way", the cheapest set you can find after some search is a silver set that costs 250$, if you go to India or china it will cost you even more. So, I agree with Rushmore on this, just get coins out of circulation. If you want to buy but not directly when you are in the country, I think e-bay is the best way to do it, just search for the sets for a couple of weeks to see the average price, and stay away from the "2" Chinese set sellers, they over price sets by 100% or more! if you want new sets "like 2012 or 2011 sets" you can get them from the mint that produced them "again if they are available on the site, and most importantly if the mint has a site that works!.[/QUOTE]
