Message:: [QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 7851014, member: 102103"]I think I used to be able to get bulk foreign coins for $5-6 a pound, but prices have come up since then.  My local coin shop sells for $0.10 per each, though they might have a slight bulk discount.  Most of them are too modern for me to have much interest personally.  Depending on what interests you and how much is available, it may be simpler to sift through "junk" bins and only pick the ones which actually are worth the space to you. Once one has a few thousand modern world coins, there are just too many duplicates of the same stuff to be worth getting more at random.[ATTACH=full]1351986[/ATTACH] I've had good luck at coin shows picking through their loose bins (typically $0.10 to $1.00 per each) to round out my collection of "junk" 1800s coins.  I like things which are worn but have enough text to be possible to ID.[ATTACH=full]1351987[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
