I have a box of about 100 assorted coins from all over the world that I've collected over the years. Mostly stupid things like 10 Brazillian centavos or 20 French centimes. None of the coins are really special or worth anything more than face value... but it seems like a waste to have them sitting in my crappy little box. What's a good way to display them or organize them?

Thanks,

-Aaron

As they aren't worth much, you don't want to spend a great deal on displaying them. I would get a 4 ring binder, some pages for storing 2x2s, some 2x2s and there you go. Neat, cheap and organised.

One nice way to organize them is to cut flags of each country from old mapbook. Then add the flag and country name before each group of coins in your binder. It looks nice and is educational at the same time.

The flag idea is fantastic - I also have a box of foreign coins just collecting dust - I think I have been inspired...Thank you.
