Scottishmoney Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Changing my vote, previously I posted that the only USA stuff is stuff I have had for more than 15 yrs, now that has changed in the last few months. I am starting to find USA stuff agreeable again. I even bought an SF commem dollar last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Not really sure of the answer. I live and work in areas where the people are from everywhere on Earth. I've let many know I collect coins. Many will give me coins from thier countries. Usually I have no idea what they are, where there from, what the writting on them means but I keep them. I put them in 2x2's mostly and sort them basically by what the writting on them seams to be the same as a few others. Numerous other foreign coins go into a plastic holder and dumped into ta large box. I have virtually thousands of such coins and really have no idea of what most are. Really strange how some are half the size of our dime and some are bigger than our old silver dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzy452 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Collect both U.S. & World coins equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basicbob101 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I collect US only, any world coins I run into I give to my wife for her collection; all she has is foreign coins that I gave her and her collection is getting quite large, two prize coins she has are: 1) a rectangular silver bar about 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch impressed with oriental characters (don't know which but could be chinese, mongolian..??) I got it in Korea in 1964 for about a dollar. 2) 2 AU, 1926 French Indo-China 20 centime pieces. My squad found a whole canister of these in a long abandoned hooch in Quang-Tri province, we split them up and each man wound up with 2. got those in 1968, haven't looked at them since. I want to specialize in Dollar coins from the US but won't pass up anything that appeals or is a bargain. basicbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 World, specifically 1789-1815. My one US coin is an 1804 1/2 cent collected just to "have" one. Any other US coins are those I win at the monthly coin club meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mila_cent Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I voted US only. However, I do have a few World coins which were given to me. The others I gave them to a contest winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Fascinating distribution. I wonder how it compares to the poll I put up last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
