Sorry about that. I wasn't sure what letter to put there, though I was pretty sure it wasn't an R.  |

It's quite difficult to understand a new alphabet, if I didn't spend my first grade reading cryllic, I probably couldn't tell anything.

Noone can know all Bryan, the thing is to enjoy the coins from different cultures. But after all it's a matter of taste, I know many happy collectors who stick to a specific area.
One of my friends collects only banknotes with the Queen on them, another collects only pre-republic Turkish (Ottoman) coins. They are happy with knowing little about the rest, 'cause the rest is not their concern.
One should go for what appeals him, one can learn about anything, but noone can be forced to like something.

Oh! I definately enjoyed the pics, its just frustrating trying to learn something new but that is also whats exciting about it so its kind of a doubled edge sword. Not only do I have to learn what the coins look like I have to try and learn a new language now (when my english still suffers a southern twang)  Edited by Bryan1315

If you try to learn every language you are in biig trouble my friend  However this is another benefit of collecting foreign coins, everyday something new, something different to learn; culture, language, history. Now I'm trying to get US commemoratives histories and the symbolism on US coins. |

I thought they need to have, after all they are a country for more than ten years.
I just didn't happen to check it earlier.:)

The page is created with some extensions I'm not familiar with and it ssems that the direct link don't work very well. For those who can spare a few minutes to check these coins, I may suggest to go to http://www.nationalbank.kz and click the small circle to the top left with "EN" on it, then to "National Currency -> Coins" and so on. |

There is a dealer that deals with ex-soviet nation coins: http://www.chervonets.com Although he might not have all the coins, you can request if he can get a certain type of coin for you. As for such, I know I have several circulated Kazakhstan coins but forgot to take photos of them.
