I know this isn't worth much, but I figured it would be sort of cool to have something from a sort of collapsed economy (I know it is not from the time period of the collapse most of us know about). That is just my opinion though, I do not want to start a political debate or anything. Anyway I just wanted to show you a recent add to my foreigns. Hope you like it.

I dont know about USA but these Greek drachmas are like Romanian leu coins from 60s, pretty common here. I have like few 100s of these.
The Economy is part of numismatics and talking about it doesn't necessarily lead you to politics.
I think Aristotle might agree with me

I know that they are common; I just thought it was cool. Also, I just wanted to state that I am not trying to start a debate because in America right now we are having our presidential election.

That's nice. I like foreign coins because we don't see them in change, unless it is a canadian penny here and there.

Here is a set of that period plus some later dates.
Like others I find them cool. Simple in style but denoting great Greeks from the ancient period.
