<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougmeister, post: 3839212, member: 56842&quot;]Whew! That was a long, drawn-out fancy way of saying: &quot;I&#039;m looking for cheap coins from the country/region of famous dudes&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>E.g.:</p><ul> <li>Attila the Hun (406–453 AD)</li> <li>Genghis Khan; Mongols (c. 1162 – 1227 AD)</li> <li>Vikings (pointy hat invading ship dudes... not football dudes)</li> </ul><p>I could start a separate thread for each but thought I&#039;d start like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts? The coins should be legible/recognizable as they will be used for educational purposes.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="1">(I was going to use them for &quot;educational porpoises&quot;, but I couldn&#039;t find any...)</font></p><p><font size="1">(ba-dum-BUMP!)</font></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m starting my search at VCoins but thought that some knowledgeable folks here could filter down the search a little bit... tell me which coins would be the most abundant (and therefore most reasonably priced, etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Can anyone *add* anything to the list that would be interesting to your common person on the street? I.e., *any* ancient coin is interesting to most of us here, but a coin of Elagabalus is not going to turn as many heads as a coin of Julius Caesar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other coins on my list:</p><p>* Coins of the Crusades</p><p>* Queen Elizabeth I</p><p>* King James I</p><p>* Vlad the Impaler</p><p>* Coins of the Reformation (time period, country)</p><p>* Alexander the Great</p><p>* Julius Caesar</p><p>* Caesar Augustus (Tiberius)</p><p>* Caesar Augustus (Octavian)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
