Off the top of my head the ones I like most are from Mexico, Japan, the UK, Russia, and some of the Euro coins. Is there a source where I could just browse the various coins in regular circulation in the world? I started searching on Google, but I got a bunch of results for weird novelty coins from Somalia.

    Wow that is some fantastic information, thanks! I’d give you some reddit tokens, but you answer is worth more than that. 😄

      No worries! I’m just glad to share a neat thing :)

      Oh one more thing I just remembered – ancient bronze coins were made with a fair amount of lead. If you go to a dealer, sometimes it’s a huge pile of dusty coins… that dust is like 10% lead. So resist the urge to lick your fingers, and instead go wash your hands :P
