I just weighed out the foreign coins I have that I collected from the coin counter at my bank over the last year or so and it is up to 4 pounds. These are the foreign coins that get stuck to the undercarriage magnet as the coins past through the coin machine. My issue is I saved them from being melted but now they are getting excessive.
Can someone give me an idea how I can get rid of them where they will not get melted down? There is no silver so I guess that's why I still have them.
I've been to coin shops where they put together "mystery" bags of foreign coins and sell them for a couple bucks a piece. My nephews got a big kick of them when I gave them each a grab bag when they visited. You could try the same thing, maybe on ebay or some other sales avenue?
Another idea is you could donate them to a coin club with younger collectors. Many of them get a huge kick out of the different designs. I still pick some common foreign coins up from time to time myself if I like the design.
