Message:: [QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 2866085, member: 87186"]Wow!!!  So, I had written more before, but erased it. I was writing to say that what I am thinking of is concentrating my collecting around is this theme: Coins from countries to which Jews fled to avoid persecution. So, Brazil is BiG on that list. That would be late 15th century. I suppose those would be basically Portuguese coins? or was Portugal still using Spanish coins? Or did they mint anything there in Brazil? I think they went from Brazil to Jamaica. It's all very interesting. I need to consult [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER] about this especially from the other end - after the time of the destruction of first temple. But I wonder if such a collection is too expansive? After all, it would cover Colombia, Dominican Republic, Jamaica,  Cuba, Mexico and many European countries like Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal, Eastern Europe. Heck, it would cover 20th Century Europe! Might be too wide. But how to narrow it? Decisions, decisions. But DO let me know what interests you, please. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
