<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 279972, member: 8441&quot;]Update - </p><p>I have found some medals, that I have ordered from a dealer in Singapore. On the coin front, there are very few common coins, as far as I can tell that have the actual Buddha on them. There are some silver proofs from Sri Lanka from 2006 and some copper from sri lanka in the 80&#039;s. I have found and am looking for some coins with Buddhist themes. A couple from sri lanka, one from Thailand, and a few from Cambodia.&nbsp; There are some gold proofs from Japan and Korea, and one from China, but I think it might be more of a medal than a coin. I did find some paper money from Cambodia that has a watermark of the Buddha&#039;s head on it. There are some copies of some extreamly rare ancient coins from china, but I do not know if it is worth getting them or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>A real problem I&#039;m running into, as I find more of these coins, is what is a good value for these coins. Some of these coins are not worth more than their base metal value, but since they are coming from overseas that makes them a little more pricey. Someone on one of my mailing lists said that they are worth what I am willing to pay for them, which I guess is true, but it makes it harder to justify to the wife!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just thought I would let you know how my search is going. When some of the items start coming in I can post pictures if anyone is interested. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit: I also found an interesting site about oriental coins. <a href="http://www.zeno.ru/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.zeno.ru/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zeno.ru/</a> it&#039;s a kind of neat place to look around.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
