Looking for Coins

November 30, 2011 3:10 PM

Looking for an inexpensive source of current foreign coins that can be purchased by the pound. These would be a gift for a coin obsessed grandson that would be more impressed with volume rather than quality.

Best answer: Would you be willing to wait until you get them? How many coins do you want?

I've traveled all over Africa and Europe (preEuro) and have many, many coins (shapes,sizes,colors). I've outgrown the "collect things" phase and I'd be more than happy to hand them off to kids who would be enamored by them. If you are okay with this, drop me a memail and I can send you the coins and you can share/give them to your grandson.

Ebay has quite a few auctions. I just searched for "pound foreign coins."
