<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 7900806, member: 25270"]One of my motivating factors in coin collecting is gathering coins from unusual places. I love items from former colonies, obscure countries, nations that no longer exist, things like that. With that in mind, I wanted to share some coins from a country I hardly ever see anyone post about here: Rhodesia. This country had several name changes through the years. The first coins are from Southern Rhodesia, followed by Rhodesia and Nyasaland, then Rhodesia, and finally Zimbabwe, which might be best known numismatically for having currency with denominations in the trillions. I didn't take pictures of my Zimbabwe coins for this exercise, but here are the others. I recently thinned out this collection a bit and I might do more in the future, but I find it a little harder to part with coins like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm going to start with half pennies. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1364287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1364288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1364289[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
