Combine that with pursuing coins that people didn&#039;t think worth the time. I&#039;m convinced that the majority of coin collectors in the world are in Europe and North America, and that&#039;s why learning a non-European language with a non-latin alphabet writing system can help. Most collectors are not &quot;that into&quot; coins to go through the effort to learn that much.&nbsp; Ancient collectors are these types of people, and the occasional world-coin collectors are.</p><p><br /></p><p>See Post #29 above for one single example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
