coins from arould the world

i've collected coins from my travels around the world... france, england, costa rica, mexico, etc... coins are really fascinating to me because each has a life of its own. each has traveled the world in wallets of people from all different backgrounds. i sometimes wish that coins could talk so that i could hear their stories. maybe i have a penny that was once carried around by elvis presley... maybe i have a 50 cent euro that princess diana once held... each coin is unique not only in their appearance, but in their history. here are some differences i found below...
