Coin collecting, buying, selling, investing in coins is a pastime that has lasted hundreds of years and is still widely enjoyed today. Serious coin collectors place a high value on coins containing precious metals, and marvel at the beauty, rarity, and historic value that coins can provide. Coins that hold value beyond their precious metal content are called numismatic coins. There are numismatic coins of value across all categories of coins, including Foreign coins, US coins, type coins, and rare coins like ancient coins and shipwreck coins.

Modern foreign coinage and world currencies are considered in two categories. Coins & currency notes that have legal tender status; and those that do not. Coins that can no longer be used as legal tender for the exchange of goods and services today are called demonetized. Coins and currency still considered as legal tender can be exchanged for newer coins at the issuing central bank but you will find most banks and coin exchanges are not interested in your foreign coins, world currency notes, or small denomination bills; You will discover it can be even more difficult to exchange coins and bills from less traveled countries.
