<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 671130, member: 6036&quot;]It depends on the meaning of the term &quot;world coins&quot;. I supoose we could narrow the definition to include only older issues. But if we include <b>all</b> world coins, including modern issues, there are mountains of world coins of all nations. The sum total of supply from all nations is enormous. Very little interest means low price / face value. When I was in Russia, we picked up Russian coins off the street. Still got &#039;em.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even if one goes back to the beginning of time, one finds plenty of coins. The closer to modern one gets, the more plentiful things are - US and world alike.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, I suppose there are several European issues from the Middle Ages which are relatively scarce. But if there is very little interest, the price remains low. The same is true of coins made worldwide by Europeans during their 400 year period of worldwide imperial invasion. Some are scarce, but plentiful relative to demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
