I agree--looks like the contents of a pants pocket for a 1990s American tourist following a few weeks on holiday in Europe.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 06/16/2019 10:12 pm Welcome to CCF...you should pick up a basic world coin guide and go through matching the coins to the countries. This will build your skill level. You could loosen up the currency or country name as listed on the coin. Knowledge is power. KK Report this Post to the Staff
