<p>[QUOTE="Kalmetam, post: 926768, member: 22375"]Yeah, the Dollar is like in another league... usually at around 400 bucks.. however, the penny is worth a lot more.. usually in the high hundreds or even above a thousand dollars. I was in Lahaina (Maui) a while ago, and in one of the stores on front street, they were trying to sell a penny (with a hole in it) for 600 bucks.. if you ask me.. if it has a hole in it, it's worthless. Now as for the other coins, the nickel and the 1/8 dollar are.. almost impossible to get.. maybe if I become filthy rich one day... haha</p><p> </p><p>I've never seen the silver medal, maybe I'll see it someday soon. Also, have you seen those Royal Hawaiian Silver Proof coins? They are dated 1996 and 1997 I believe.. interesting things.. I first saw them in Kona.. I think there's a gold one too... However, not sure if I really want these.. they say things like Akahi Dala on them.. but I don't know if they're worth getting.. especially since they are pretty expensive.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Also, as far as world coins go, I'm starting to get into Qatar + Dubai (they made a series of coins together during 3 years) coins ... they are not made anymore.. and I'm obsessed with both places haha.

I think it's smarter to go 1 by 1.. since it's cheaper, and more fun :) Right now I have 50 dirhams (1966) coming in the mail.. and I'm debating back and forth on whether to get 25 dirhams (1966) .. The 1969 ones are harder to get.. and the 1971 coin.. only has a mintage of 5,000 I believe, so that's definitely gonna be hard to get. This is the one I bought today: [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/10/!BwOu6M!B2k~$(KGrHqN,!jUEv1+0B7DmBMH-w7oN1w~~_3.JPG[/img] One world coin group I'm keeping an eye on but not going for yet is Greenland... they are expensive, but very nice, old, and historical :) Maybe in the near future I'll get into these![/QUOTE]
