<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1624039, member: 27225&quot;]Well, slowly but surely, I am narrowing down the list of countries to get coins from.&nbsp; Seems like about half of the countries I listed do not have a state currency of their own, but use the currency of other countries or have a joint monitary unit such as the CFA Franc, used in many of the African countries I list.&nbsp; So, now, I&#039;m down to about 30 or less.&nbsp; Most of these countries are not noted for tourist trade, so getting coins from them might be rather difficult.&nbsp; Not sure, but I wonder if I could contact the country direct to see if I can make a small purchase....sounds kinda funny, and I doubt it, but I may give it a try. It is becoming apparent to me that I may never be able to get coins from all world countries, for one reason they keep changing, while some disappear, new ones appear.&nbsp; I&#039;ve already got a bookcase full of foreign (non-USA) coins, and at this rate, I&#039;ll run out of space to keep them.&nbsp; I guess its a good thing that I&#039;m only working on the circulating coinage, and not the silver/gold commemoratives.&nbsp; Anyway, just by my jawing, I&#039;ve learned a lot...imagine what I could learn if I listened too....lol....Regards, Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
