Do You Actively Collect Foreign Coins?

Greg, very nice toning going on!

It appears you specialize in collecting toned coins?

Correct! Mostly for the fact they every one is unique.

You bet I do, they make my hair shiny and manageable, also fight tooth decay. :foot-mouth:

1969 20 centimes & 1963 50 centimes.

 

1989 Chilean 5 pesos and 1981 Chilean 10 pesos coins.

 

Couldn't help but throw in this Brazillian coinage.

 

Another "Already purchased" eBay coin?

Looks great, regardless of when bought.

 

No, no. I purchased these a couple of weeks ago in a bulk purchase. Come pay day, I plan on another bulk purchase from a CT member who sells foreigns by the pound.

 

I don't know where this one is from, but the tree is cool - reminds me of Treebeard from The Two Towers.

 

Yes, I like that design too. After the 1963 currency reform, Finland continued to use it, but then (until 1990) on the 10, 20 and 50 penniä coins.

Very nice additions to the thread, Inquisitive.

 

Activly collect..No, however I do find myself often picking out odd coins I like from the foreign bin at the coin shops. This has gotten much worse/more common since i joined CT.

 

Me too, brother, me too!

 

Here's a companion to that one from the year before.
I sat down and imaged a ton of my French coins last night (and many other foreigns) and I'm gonna sit down and post a thread dedicated to them eventually.

 

Cool! I have a couple very similar to that one. I love the art deco type design.
