[QUOTE="tibor, post: 3714894, member: 73385"]With the countries you listed I would just collect the pocket change that you receive from sales transactions. When you leave each country thru customs, they may limit the amounts you can take. In 1984 when I went to Hungary, I spent 4 weeks there. I started to put together date sets from circulation and amassed quite a collection. As they searched my carry on, they told me I could take 6 coins with me and I would have to spend the rest at the souvenier shop. I bought a Coke and several candy bars. Be care full traveling in those countries. Travel in the winter months when the temps are bare able!! There are plenty of coin shops and flea markets in these countries and they are chock full of counterfeits. Unless you can take a full time job with PCGS or NGC as a 110% accurate counterfeit detector I would stick to pocket change. The rest can be bought from dealers at coin shows or LCS. Have fun and only drink BOTTLED beverages ie. beer and sodas.[/QUOTE]
