<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 892119, member: 4552"]Sort of depends on where you live. Here in the USA your exposed to a zillion coin shows and almost all USA coins. For example at a coin show today, only one dealer had other than USA coins. At a coin show last Sunday where there was about 75 dealers, again only one with non USA coins and only two with currency. I've got about 5 or more coin stores in my area and none carry other than USA coins. </p><p>So it's not necessarily rarity, cost, quantity minted but just where are those others being sold? I suspect if it wasn't for forums like this and the internet, many people in the USA wouldn't know that other countries even have their own money. </p><p>I still remember talking about coins not to long ago with a group of people at Christmas. I mentioned Roman Coins and one person said no one had coins that far back. There were no mchines to use them in. He wasn't kidding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
