I bid .0025 on each set, 1 to 12.

Thank you! Bid confirmed.

2 days to go.

Can any of these coins be used today? Or do they belong to governments that are no longer? I wish you posted a description of each coin because I do not know what any of them are

From a quick glance they are all currencies or countries that no longer exist, which is what makes coins like this great. Which would you rather have: a 2012 USA penny, or a 1922  Czechoslovakia Korun?

Edited to add: if I had more skill and time I would make a line of physical bitcoins that take old coins like this and converts them to BTC, digging out a spot for a private key and overlaying the Bitcoin amount. There is actually a long history of countries reusing old coins in this way and it would look awesome.
