Americans collect wheat cents, bufallo nickels, and silver coins from rolls. Canadians CRH King George coins, nickel coins, and also silver. What do collectors in other countries CRH?

Over here we CRH for coins from (1) overseas territories like Gibraltar, Falklands islands ,St Helena & Ascension
(2) crown dependency countries like the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man
(3) commemorative coins like Olympics 50p coins & various 2 pound coins

Our circulating coins arent too interesting to CRH because there have been so many changes and de-monetizations like decimalisation, reduction in the size (and the subsequent withdrawal) of large 50p , 10p and 5p coins and now all cupro-nickel 5p and 10p coins are being gradually withdrawn and being replaced by steel coins with a Ni plating ......its getting less interesting to CRH our local coins

I guess mostly everyone would look for low mintage/ rare coins.

The Swiss could hunt silver, and so could the Mexicans (N$10) and Japanese (although the odds are low).

I would have fun looking through pound bags for dependencies, but I'd probably have to let a bunch of counterfeits back because I couldn't afford to keep them all...

Coins from crown dependencies are the best to find , I have averaged about 2 or 3 a year ....

Its funny you mention counterfeit pound coins because over the past 2 months or so I havent come across any counterfeits despite going through a lot of pound coins
