Lancek Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 7:45 pm I see very few world coins made out of brass. Not sure why. It makes a very pretty coin. And they seem to hold up over time. But I only have two. So if you've got some world brass, I would love to see it. I'll start out with my two. 1877 Dominican Republic Un Centavo Report this Post to the Staff
