US coins are normal for me World is everything else. I do however see Canadian, British, and French coins as being special though in the world category since they interest me.
World makes me think modern. Foreign makes me think non modern era.
World Coin, = one of this planet, including your home country.
foreign coin = not of your home country, and possibly not of this planet. (The money that Templeton Peck version of Starbuch used in BSG is foreign coins.)
Funny story about this, when I first got my World Coins catalog as a new collector, it didn't even occur to me that the United States was included in the catalog. I didn't look up any of my U.S. coins, then one day, I was browsing the catalog and happened to pass through the U.S. section.
I consider a world coin as any coin that is made on earth, past the ancient era. "World coins" is a broad term, because it can cover basically anything.
To me, anything not Canadian or Indonesian are foreign.
I'll use this analogy: world coins are earthlings, who come from many different countries and places. When the person goes traveling from his country to another country, he is now a foreign.
