You can get an excellent reference on world coins by picking up collecting world coins circulating issues for 1901 to date. This is about $45.00 in most coin shops. Report this Post to the Staff

My son has a themaic album with nothing but them. I never gave much attention to the proud felines, but have grown fond of the differences. Report this Post to the Staff

It is definitely an interesting coin, and there is quite a large variety of Ceylonese coinage. Definitely worth a check out. TheKid Report this Post to the Staff
