Poland coins: With the first image, this the first time that I would have appreciated a coin as being 'cute'!

Thanks for the kind words, the coin really is very pretty and struck a noble purpose. In my opinion it is worth I have:]

I would not take the term "cute" as being positive here. I'd say it is aimed at romantics, and I can't stand romantics.

Dear companion of GERMANY, type in google the term 20 Years of The Great Orchestra and you'll know why this coin minted and had nothing to do with romance

It all depends on whether one is familiar with the "background" or not. Usually, when a mint makes a heart shaped coin, it is supposed to be cute, romantic, to be purchased by people who give it to their loved ones. Or to put it less nicely, a saccharin piece. ;) In this case, however ... well, the heart is basically the logo of this fundraising initiative: http://www.en.wosp.org.pl/ Don't really coins with "odd shapes" but here it makes sense.

Chrisild exactly holy word, the coin was minted in a noble purpose, and believe me the word is NAPRWDE BEAUTIFUL picture does not reflect this. In my opinion it is really buying will be a good investment.

"In my opinion it is really buying will be a good investment."
I doubt it. Novelty "coins" are generally the worst sort of investment.

I do not share your opinion. Do you want to buy coins for a few years will have any 10 times more expensive?

Im my experience - no. All the places that brought out novelty coins probably have some collectors - but nothing like "real" coins. Take the Marshall Islands, Somalia (and their awful guitar "coins") and the Isle of Man -- all these places have been issuing coins by the truckload. Nobody could keep up with it. I think their over-induldgence has largely killed off any interest there ever was for collecting from that country. It's really only a money generating exercise from the mint. Some people do buy into it ... that's why they keep issuing more and more. But the secondary market "I think" is minimal.

Dlatego trzeba zadac sobie pytanie. Czy zbierasz monety bo to twoje hobby? Czy zbierasz monety bo to dobra inwestycja?

That's exactly my point. These should only be bought as a hobby - and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - people get lots of enjoyment out of it :) -- but you said they were a good investment - I don't agree with that at all.
