<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 26713249, member: 102103&quot;]Thanks, I like early USSR coins.&nbsp; Maybe not the best place to live at the time, but lots of interesting history and coinage.&nbsp; Some of my ancestors were Volga Germans</p><p>who settled in Russia in the 1700s.&nbsp; They must have intermarried with the locals, because apparently I have a little Russian and Ashkenazi heritage as well. Fortunately for them, they got out in the mid-1800s and emigrated to the US, and thus didn&#039;t have to live through the tragedy that was 20th Century Russia...</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure what happened to the 5 centesimi.&nbsp; Looks like it was deliberately defaced.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite oval shaped and the reverse is pretty much unrecognizable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here are a few of the more interesting (to me) modern coins from the&nbsp; set:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1705567[/ATTACH]</p><p>Germany 2 marks, 1971, 1992; 1 mark 1966, 1992</p><p>France 10 francs 1991x2, 1992; 1/2 franc 1977</p><p>Luxembourg 5 francs 1986[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
