Where to get coins - Canada, UK, and Mexico?

[ChrissySC]

For our history, I need coins that are similar to the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollars from each of these countries.

 

Where can I get foreign modern currency?

 

The exchange will send me paper only! :glare:

Maybe someone on here who is from one of your desired countries would be willing to send you some money-you could try posting on the swap board. They might even want to trade for the equivalent American money. Good luck!

I can send you the Canadian versions. We DO have pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. We also have the loonies and toonies - the 1 and 2 dollar coins respectively.

 

ETA:I'm actually thinking that maybe I shouldn't volunteer to do this. My intentions are good but if you need it within the next couple of weeks I might be a bit distracted. :)

You guys are great. Thank you so much for sending them!

 

I looked everywhere! I even tried the coin dealer, which was great if I wanted "old" money. LOL

 

I will trade in-kind - just let me know if you neede anything!

 

Anyone from Mexico? I suppose we could use a Euro and such, but dd has heart set on a peso. :)

 

BTW, it is a project that comes from the Ancient Projects book. This book has been full of some very "deep" conecepts. We did not want to skip this one as it provides a great understanding of currency, what money is, and eventually leads to our own dollar value that has no gold standard. Dd has really become interested in this topic.
