<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1623602, member: 27225&quot;]I just completed an inventory of my world coins collection.&nbsp; According to some authorities, there is 196 countries in the world, of which I have 136.&nbsp; However, I also have 26 countries and territories that either are no longer countries, or are territories that issued their own currency.&nbsp; In any case, I&#039;d like to accumulate at least one coin from every coins issuing country in the world.&nbsp; I am looking for a place that I might obtain the 60 country&#039;s coins missing from my collection.&nbsp; I looked at ebay, but not only do I not do ebay, but I find that most things for sale on ebay are either overpriced, or when up for bid, ultimately wind up being way overbid.&nbsp; Does anyone know where I might go to obtain foreign coins at a reasonable rate?&nbsp; I thought about the internation exchange kiosks in the Air Port, but I&#039;m not sure they would exchange for coins only, and since I am not looking for a great amount, probably no.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been buying coins from my coin dealer&#039;s bulk box over the past couple of years, but I&#039;ve reached a point of diminishing returns, wherein I buy 50 pounds of coins, but wind up with just 8 or 10 coins I can use.&nbsp; Once in awhile, its still fun to buy in bulk from him, because I have a quasi token collection as well, and every once in a while, something unusual comes up.&nbsp; Anyway, any suggestions on buying non-US coins at a reasonable rate?&nbsp; I&#039;d list the 60 countries I don&#039;t have, but its a little much for this forum.&nbsp; Regards,&nbsp; Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
