First, find the right forum to post it (Classic US, Modern US, Canadian, etc.), then right above the thread list there are two links: New Topic and New Poll. For a regular thread (no poll), chose New Topic.

I am from NJ, USA. But I have lived in a few countries and a few states. Planning to move again soon as well. This has led to me having a LOT of coins from places I don't even remember :) But today Florida is home

 Hi I'm from Sydney Australia! I don't collect coins but I'm a historian, so I sometimes need to find out stuff about currency from the past.

HistoryChick:
First of all, welcome to the CCF!
Secondly, I come from Sydney also.
Thirdly: I studied history and geography at the higest level in senior high school. When I travelled India to Europe (took six months to do that), in my mid twenties, I was really able to appreciate the countries I was travelling through, as a direct result of what I had learned in school.
Since then, the history study has continued, and it is a huge boost to my appreciation of the coins I collect, from ancient to modern, of all cultures.
I suggest you SHOULD collect coins, as an illustrative form of supporting documentation to the study of history. The two studies are complimentry.
I have a niece who is reading for a pHd in Roman sociology. A study of Roman coins has certainly helped her.
