[QUOTE="MissSasha, post: 710048, member: 20786"]Depends on your finances and how much you care about coin vs. "investment". Many gorgeous foreign coins can be had for a fraction of U.S. time-line counterparts. And most are limited types that span a year or so. WHile US coinage rarely changes. Not that the world coinage doesn't have same issue. The Swiss have been making the same boring design since the 1800's (minus commemorative types). US coins cost insanely much more too, as many so-called collectors only care about value and re-sale a week later. I barely buy US stuff, and when I do it's in lower to mid grades to complete date/mintmark sets. The only US coins I spend a good amount on are errors, as they are unique. As for World coinage, I'm able to buy stuff for MUCH cheaper and have almost unlimited variety to pick from. So I'm able to collect whatever strikes me that week as gorgeous and interesting. Collect whatever gets you excited![/QUOTE]
