This is why I stick to US coins. I too have a large pile of foreign coins. People have been giving me those for a long, long time. I put them in plastic holders, then in a box, then put that away. I've no idea of what 90% of them are nor where they are from.
That is for whoever inherits this mess. |

| I like foreign coins esp if I get them free, I'm liking that aluminium 5 francs, not rare but rare to see in any other currencies circulation, they were phased out in 1960 and aren't even the most recent defunct French coins. If you anyone wants to post any pics of their foreign coins would love to see, I knew most of those |
