Every coin of medal which was intended to circulate for paying your local groceries has my intrest: 19000 different world coins at the age of 40 is the result.

Try to be friends with immigrants to the USA, they have family outside the nation with different coins; you can get them eventually for free or for a little face value price.
The Netherlands has a multicultural society which is better arranged then the American Society, because we consider each immigrant an adjustment to our local neighbourhood, in stead of throwing rocks at them..

quote:
quote:So far in albums as sets: Lincoln cents, Indian Head cents, Mercury dimes, Roosevelt dimes pre-1964 (silver).
And then, not as sets in albums, but just "scattered miscellaneous obsolete US coinage like Barber dimes & quarters, Walking Liberty halves, Buffalo nickels.
Add to my above post: Jefferson nickels & various error coins.
Add in albums as sets: Buffalo nickels, Liberty nickels, Roosevelt dimes Silver to 2007, Washington quarters Silver to 2007. |

I focus on US coins: pennies - wheats and memorials 1909 to present nickels - 1965 to present dimes - 1965 to present quarters - 1965 to present half dollars - just bought the books and my first $80 to search! Presidential dollars - caught my interest so I just started these too I also have random stuff in a container, like most of you: - every Wheat cent I've ever run across (couple hundred) - every S mint coin I've ever run across (fewer than you'd think) - a small accumulation of Canadian coins (only a buck or two) - random coins from France my girlfriend brought back last year - random coins and bills my grandfather carried in his pockets during WWII (need to be cleaned and stored properly) - plus more that I can't think of I also have part of my other grandfather's collection sitting at my parents house that I need to search through. That includes wheat and memorial cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, dollars, and paper money. I think some of this stuff is really old, some Morgan's from the 1890's, silver nickels/half dollars, etc. This should be fun stuff to look through. Much more exciting than normal pocket change or searching new rolls for errors/varieties. |

I would have to say I have 95% US coins, but I have recently started adding some Australian and Canadian coins into the mix. I really like the "animal" coins --- especially the Australian dolphins (and that colorized series of sealife .... )  |

Everything from A to Z it seems like. I have 2 safes, one for my US collection and the other for my World. Mostly coins but I do have a number of world currencies and working to build my US currency set.
