Carpguy New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 05:03 am Hi I'm new to coin collecting and only have a few coins. One of them is a very small spiel munze coin from 1887. It's a uk coin. Does anybody know what this is and what they are worth Iv searched on the web but can't find out much about it. Thanks. I will put some pictures up soon. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

"Spiel munze" is German for "play money". There are collectors of these "toy coins" out there, but they're not as easy to find as coin collectors. There also hasn't been an updated catalogue printed since the 1990s, so giving a "book value" is difficult. All you can do is try to find some similar pieces that actually sold on ebay etc, to see what people are paying. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 11:21 pm These tiny little play money coins often were used as doll money and were put in doll's purses. I have seen them with German designs as well as French and fantasy designs. Report this Post to the Staff
