The year I was moving to Hawaii (1989) from Wales, U.K. I stopped by a coin store and picked up this beauty.

I would love to see Hawaii!! Wales would be amazing as well. I wish I had a chance to travel more when I was younger. I'm going to swazi land in August, wonder if I'll find any coins while I'm there. Only time I left Canada was Costa Rica and that was pre getting into the hobby. I'll have to pick up something while I'm there.

Edit: a beautiful set. Forgot to add that. The only non USA and Canada coins I have ever seen are from the 2 times iv managed to go to my LCS and the odd balls I find roll hunting.

Second edit. That and the very nice coin princetane sent from his contest, can't forget about that one.
