<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 56010, member: 1748&quot;]I have found friends and acquaintances to be excellent sources for world coins.&nbsp; If you let lots of people know you are interested in buying foreign coins off of them, you&#039;d be surprised what people pull out of their junk boxes and sock drawers from trips they took a long time ago, or odd coins they were left as tips at a restaurant.&nbsp; I work with people who travel a lot as part of their job, so that&#039;s great, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>My father-in-law gave me envelopes full of coins from a trip to Europe in the 80s; I&#039;ve had friends give me coins from their honeymoons or cruises; my sister-in-law works as a barrista, and she gave me some interesting coins from the tip cup on the counter; my dad gave me lots of coins from Viet Nam.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed also that you said you didn&#039;t &quot;see&quot; any coins at your coin dealer--but I&#039;d be sure to ask.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDITED TO ADD:&nbsp; Of course, this probably won&#039;t work if you&#039;re looking for gold or silver...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
