<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 139866, member: 1748&quot;]It is very difficult to speak to a coin&#039;t rarity and value when one does not have specifics; is there any way you can post some photos?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the mystery of how these coins got into your family, you may never figure it out, but it wouldn’t seem very odd to me. People accumulate that kind of stuff without even trying, and even more if they have a slight interest in it, which seems to be the case here (judging from the cardboard holders some of the coins were in.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve found odd world coins in the change drawer at work, in a pencil cup at church, on the sidewalk.&nbsp; Friends and coworkers have given them to me. I have lots from when I was little; my next door neighbor went to Europe and brought envelopes full of change for my brother and me. I’ve bought lots at the flea market, 2 for 25 cents, including a Vichy France franc from the early 1940s, just like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>And remember, just because a coin has a certain date, it doesn’t mean that’s when someone traveled to the country. The Czech and Yugoslavian coins could have been obtained any time in the past forty + years. In that time, <i>millions</i> of people, including many from the U.S., came and went from those countries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
