I just ordered my daughter a coin for her birthday. It's a Isle of Man Exotic Shorthair Cat 2006 Coin from the Pobjoy Mint Ltd. How about Graceoutcast have I gone to darkside?

LOL, I know my daughter will love it , I guess that doesn't count then. I'm currently looking at foreign mint web sites to see what I like and can order online. Currently checking out Royal Canadian Mint, however I know that's the Greyside. Going to go back to Australia and New Zealand web sites later today. I found many different websites just have to go through them. The Austrian mint website only takes Euros so I guess that's out. Sooner or later I'll turn to Darkside. I looking for silver or bi-metal coins with wildlife and or mountains. Can any of you Darksider's point me in the right direction, I'm kinda clueless when it comes to foreign coins. |

Yes, graceoutcast you are correct she is now a darksider, I just thought I'd try. Someday when a world coin I like I'll post the pic after I get it and then I'll become a darksider.

There's a search function at upper left of that site. You can type in "wildlife", "mountains" or "bi-metal." I just did that and was kinda impressed by the interesting bi-metal coins that are out there right now, like silver-niobium coins from Austria and Latvia.

Australia, Trinidad & Tobago, etc. all have various wildlife / sealife type coins. Also, if you are into paper currency the Antarctica notes are works of art. They are not legal tender since Antarctica isn't really a country but the money is used to help pay for education, etc. of the pole.

Hi Iknerr,
You can also look to the Royal Scandinavian Mint (despite their name they are actually in Utah) and Talisman for world coins. Google either and they'll come up.
Good luck and enjoy the Darkside!

Anything in coins you buy or give a kid is the best way to make a future Numismatist. Irrilivant as to what it is, as long as it's a coin.

I agree Carl, I got her the painted cat coin because she loves cats. I already got her started collecting coins. We bought rolls and searched them. She now has regular Quarters,State quarters, Roosevelt dimes, Jefferson nickels, Lincoln pennies in folders. While we were searching the 3 boxes of nickels we found these special items one cull buffalo, 5 War Nickels 2 Canadian twelve sided nickels and two foreign coins, however no 1950-D yet. The foreign coins were a Singapore 20 cents piece and a Somalia 5 Schillings piece. |
