[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2927801, member: 19165"]On a site where most of the collectors are based in the US, I'm really not surprised that the majority of responses are "home country." US collectors (usually) vastly prefer US coins to foreign. That being said, foreign coins have been gaining ground based on their artistry, rarity, heritage, value, and increasing visibility. I think I'm most surprised that your poll currently has "medals" above "ancients." Medals, tokens, and exonumia always seemed to me to be the backwater, one-stop-light sleepy town that old geezers in rocking chairs talked about while smoking a pipe.[/QUOTE]
