From Which Non US Country You Collect Coins

Laos 50 Kip (not in Catalogue)

The Schön catalog lists two coins that were issued on that occasion: a 10 kip (CuNi) coin, and your 50 kip (Ag) coin. The catalog numbers are 63 (10 kip) and 64 (50 kip); no images in the book though.

I have just found the photo of the Solomon Island 20 cent coin.

Here it is.

By the way we have all of these coins available far below catalogue price but I cannot sell them here because I do not yet have 50 posts.

I have some coins from a variety of countries, but my actual collections are mainly U.S., British Victoria and British Conder Tokens.

I collect any coin that I can get my hands on. I also agree with snowman, any coin with a fish on it is an automatic keeper.

Snowman I did not include that coin because your original question was what other FAO coins apart from that one do not appear in Krause.

I'm like most and collect whatever catches my eye. I try to focus on silver, around 31 grams (one ounce) and proofs, but it is very hard - not all countries make commems/proofs and many like to make them in the 15-20gm weight. And I also try to buy coins that say something about the country that made them - so I wouldn't be interested in a Liberian commemorative of the first moonwalk (I think Liberia probably has enough interesting history of its own).

And then I have the bad habit of just buying whatever I like anyways! It's so hard to budget when you want almost everything!!!!!!!!!

Today I became a member of this community. I collect since childhood when I became 8 and made my first journey abroad to Spain (I live in the Netherlands); nowadays I am 40 years old and obtain a little collection of 19000 different types of coins from Roman Times until yesterday. I manage to collect 41 different Roman emperors which I can afford. Apart from that I have a little collection of 250 Local Dutch Town Money (1975-2007).Also I have some composers on medals, banknotes and coins.

I collect U.S., Canada, Australia and Euro, especially the silver euro, but have coins from all over the world. I try to keep up with 1 ounce bullion issues from U.S., Canada, China, Great Britain and Australia. Always looking for world wide classics as the "old ones" aren't being made any more!! For the most part, if I like it I NEED it!
