Howdy Sophia - Haven't seen you around in a while The coins you list can be found on several interent sites or on ebay. But you may prefer to find yourself a local dealer so that you can see the coins first hand. If the dealer does not normally deal in the coins you want - ask him and I'll bet he can get them for you
The coins from the Bahamas,Falkland Islands,Gibraltar,Malawi,& Rhodesia & Nyasaland all belong to the British Commonwealth series.Unfortunately,nowadays,there isn't much interest in Rhodesian coins or those from the states that once formed part of the Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland (Southern Rhodesia,Rhodesia,Malawi, Zambia,& Zimbabwe).I can guess that it is because Zimbabwe's troubles have hit the headlines in recent years.
