[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 62335, member: 112"]Sounds like you already have a good start on it. But finding anything but Canadian in circulation would be rather tough in this country. You might might the odd piece here and there, but you won't find much. However - the choices available if you choose to purchase your coins are almost limitless. And you'll likely find that they ( world coins ) are a good bit cheaper than US coins. And that goes for copper, silver & gold. You say you like the CCCP coinage - it's out there. But have you considered the older Russian coins ? They're out there too and quite affordable in many cases. Although Russian coinage has been becoming quite popular in the past year or two and going up in price. I myself am rather fond of Royal French coinage and in lower or mid grades it is quite affordable. You can even find some of the smaller silver denominations in AU/Unc grades for $50 - $60. And I'm talking about coins from the 1600 & 1700's. In VF or XF grades they can often be had for $25 - $30. You can even find gold coins for as little as $50 - $75, often in Unc condition. The story is basically the same for most European nations with the exception of the UK. Some of that stuff is more expensive than the US coins. So - what strikes your fancy ??[/QUOTE]
