<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xlrcable, post: 2378513, member: 41288&quot;]I focus on Mexico because it&#039;s just down the road from here, and because the frequent changes in its coinage are so much a road map to its past - an interesting thing if you live in a country that&#039;s been making Lincoln cents for 107 years. I started with the 20th century and am starting to push my way backward into the 19th. This is attractive because it links back to the old Spanish reales and escudos and all the history that implies - but also a bit scary because the field is plagued with counterfeits, and even with controversy about what is counterfeit and what is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, I also think world coins should give you the chance to indulge a little sometimes. I&#039;ve never been to Ireland but I love those coins with the animals and buy them sometimes in a state of happy ignorance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
