<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 192266, member: 1824&quot;]I started off collecting as a 9 year old back in early 1986.Here in New Zealand,we used to find the old Sixpences,Shillings,&amp; Florins (which remained legal tender as 5c.,10c.,&amp; 20c. respectively).We also got a lot of Australian coins in change from the 1c. right up to the 20c..The third most commonly found coins I used to get in change was a lot of 5c.,10c.,&amp; 20c. coins from Fiji.Occasionally,I found the odd British large 5 &amp; 10 Pence coins in change.The younger of my 2 sisters once got a 1979 1c. coin from South Africa (which I still have!) in change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually,I started being given coins from people who had travelled to other countries.Until late in 2006,I had attempted to get as many countries represented,but I found this far too difficult.I have begun the process of selling off most of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have retained the British Commonwealth component of the collection,as that is what I am now specialising in &amp; concentrating on.I will be paying off the computer,plus putting some money into buying an extremely rare Chatham Islands silver $50 coin (which is illustrated in my article called &#039;Chatham Islands numismatics&#039;). &amp; a digital camera.I will eventually be buying myself a flat-bed scanner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
