<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 267795, member: 39&quot;]In some European countries problems could arise if the coins offered are more than 100 years old. Blame the Unesco Cultural Property Convention (1970) and the Unidroit Convention on Illegally Exported Cultural Objects (1995) ... basically ideas that make sense in my opinion, but quite vague and theoretical in some regards. In countries where the Unidroit Convention is applicable law* you need a certificate if you want to export a &quot;cultural object&quot; that is more than 100 years old. The question is whether that also applies to any &quot;mass&quot; coin from, say, the early 20th century. Maybe some court will one day deal with an issue like that ...</p><p><br /></p><p>(* As far as I know, the UK has not signed that Unidroit convention though.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
