Coins & Currency

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.

My Collection

I am far from being a professional coin or currency collector. However, I do try to pick up whatever interesting items that I can find on my travels. Coins and currency make nice souvenirs because they are relatively easy to obtain and typically small enough that you can easily pack them away. But you do have to be careful with coins because their weight can add up surprisingly quickly.

So from Argentina to the United States, here are just a few of the interesting items that I've managed to pick along the way or obtained from friends.

Also note that I've tried to comply with the fair use policies of each country (as described by the respective national banks and linked to by the www.rulesforuse.org website) in terms of displaying images of their currency. Please be aware that all images of currency that are used on this website are intended for educational and informational purposes only.
