A nice family of coins from around the world
Several mints from around the world make exciting coin designs in circulating alloys, silver
and gold. Among my favorites are the Perth Mint in Austrailia which produces a variety of
coins for nations mostly through out the Pacific Rim. The Neatherlands has also produced some
interesting designs, and several private US based mints have produced foreign currency on
contract, include the Franklin Mint which has produced many Israeli Coins.
Our interest in foreign coins and ancients has been nominal but rapidly growing as it seems that US designs
are so stuck in the mud. Also, foreign mints are creating bold new designs with color and
bimetal designs that are both eye catching and fun.
This is a short list of our current modern design:
Our modest collection generally contains the following coins types.
