I am currently in Yerevan, Armenia. And as a real numismatist, I could not help but go to the national bank, as well as visit the market in search of coins. I managed to purchase a couple of coins and one set. 1)100th Anniversary - Birth of Yeghishe Charents 2)XXXII Chess Olympiad in Yerevan

The next day I went to the national bank and was able to purchase these coins at face value. I took 2 more sets and 2 coins, each with chess and personality. It's a bit of a shame, because for the first time I overpaid a lot.

Fantastic adds!  Quote: It's a bit of a shame, because for the first time I overpaid a lot. We have all done this a few times.

I returned home from my trip. 1)Tokens that can be purchased at vending machines that are located in various monasteries. Such a token costs $2.50.   2)A token for the local metro.   3)4 sets of coins that I managed to collect while I was in Yerevan.

I almost forgot to show you the banknotes that I managed to catch out of circulation, but the grade UNC. 1)Poet and literary researcher Paruyr Sevak (1924-1971). On the reverse side there is a monument to the poet against the panorama of his native village of Zangakatun.   2)American writer of Armenian origin William Saroyan (1908-1981). On the back is a panorama of the Turkish city of Bitlis (Bagesh), from which the writer's parents fled at the beginning of the twentieth century.   3)10,000 drams dedicated to the composer, folklorist, vardapet of the Armenian Church of Komitas (1869-1935). On the reverse side of the banknote there is a collage of the monument to Komitas against the background of the seminary building in Etchmiadzin.

Excellent notes, Slerk - they are beautiful! Also, I had never heard the word "vardapet" before, but now I know! Thank you.
