<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Viper1357, post: 1082945, member: 28810&quot;]This has been an interesting post with some good advice and great opinions. I&#039;m only posting here because I can identify with the OP about having a lot of foreign or world coins/currency that I have been collecting since I was a kid some 40 years ago. It&#039;s what actually got me started collecting in the first place, albeit the common US coin books we filled back in the day. Back then you could get a lot of world coins for little cost, and I found such beauty and differences (both technically and artistically) compared to our US coinage. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I have no interest in getting rid of any of it (save some odd rare big $$ find) but wanted to mention that I have been told as well over the years that many world currencies when made obsolete by that country have little to no value, and in fact cost more to ship than they are worth. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m sure you may have a few &#039;gems&#039; in your collection, but based on the experience and advice I&#039;ve been reading from these folks here, looks like you have basically two choices: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-First: (if time permits) Go through them and categorize them, look for any gems. Obviously there is a wealth of knowledge here to help us/you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Second: Sell them in bulk packs on ebay or a local coin show, CL etc.. Maybe you&#039;ll come out ok $$ wise, maybe not. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I wasn&#039;t over loaded with my own collection of world stuff, I&#039;d be interested, but currently I&#039;m just trying to take the time to see what I&#039;ve got in both world and US coins and paper from the last 40 years..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck what ever you decide![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
