World Coin Trading

Wednesday October 8, 2008

Do you hate to pay for coins, but want to build a collection of international scope? Try world coin trading! Although coin trading has never really taken off in the U.S. except for a few folks who trade their D-Mint coins for the P-Mint coins of someone across the country, trading coins is a vibrant hobby in many parts of the world where coin dealers are very few and far between. Most world coin collectors are thrilled to find a U.S. trading partner, and will readily strike some great coin-trading deals with you just to get their hands on the latest State Quarters or the newest Presidential Dollars. The trades usually involve circulating coins of nominal value, and it's a fabulous way for kids who have an interest in collecting, but not much of a budget for buying coins, to enlarge their collections and make friends all over the world.

I had a feeling this one wasn’t going to sell. I felt kinda bad it was all alone here with no one taking an interest. Are forein coins really that big with American coin collectors? It dosen’t interest me much, except for some coins i pick up in change, that are from other countrys. Just out of curiosity. Could have a good error coin hidden in there.

Awww, Coiny, you are such a sweetie, leaving a comment so this post isn’t all by its lonesome being seemingly ignored by everyone. ;) I really do appreciate your kindness, and always look forward to, and enjoy, your comments!

Thank you Sue! I think this post feels the love now. No longer alone in this cold cruel world. But … The poor thing — dosen’t look like it’s going to get adopted any time soon.
