Square coins are one of the most interesting alternative shapes to be used by modern circulating foreign coins. They are also one of the hardest to find, since that shape is not used very often. Square coins add a new level of "wow" to any foreign coin collection. You can read more about countries that have used square coins at our blog.
We have put together packs of 8 different square foreign coins from 8 different countries - Bangladesh, the
East Caribbean States, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Suriname. All the coins except for Myanmar are in uncirculated condition. Each pack contains the same 8 coins.
Coins may be small and may be a choking hazard for children aged 3 or younger.

Uncirculated coins are the shiniest, best-looking coins you can get in bulk. They were saved before they went
to the general public, so they've never been touched, never been dropped in the mud, never been put through a
vending machine. These coins glint and gleam in the light like gems, and are the most desired type of coin for
collectors - they look great in any collection.
These coins tend to be newer - from the 1990s and on - so if you're looking for older coins check out the
Circulated Pound Pack.
You get one pound of mixed, random uncirculated foreign coins, containing between 75 and 110 individual coins.
(Actual number varies due to differences in size and weight of individual world coins.)
This pack will contain duplicate coins.
Coins may be small and may be a choking hazard for children aged 3 or younger.

Circulated coins are coins that people have actually used in their home country. These are the coins that you'd get as change
at the grocery store - they've been touched, they've been put in vending machines, they may be dirty or worn or they may
look brand new. They're not as nice looking as the Uncirculated Pound Pack, but the tradeoff is a much
wider variety of countries, coins, and dates - anywhere from the 1940s through today.
You get over one pound of mixed, random foreign coins, containing between 75 and 110 individual coins.
(Actual number varies due to differences in size and weight of individual world coins.)
This pack will contain duplicate coins and may contain a few non-coins
(such as tokens or buttons - that is why we include more than 1 pound of coins).
Coins may be small and may be a choking hazard for children aged 3 or younger.

| 200 Year Old Shipwreck Silver Coin |
|
$52
|
|
In January 1784, the Spanish ship El Cazador ("The Hunter") was carrying hundreds of thousands
of Spanish silver coins from Mexico to
New Orleans, to support what was then Spanish territory, when it sank in the Gulf of Mexico.
The wreck (and its treasure of Spanish silver coins)
was not discovered until 1993 when a fishing trawler snagged some coins in their nets. You can read more about the
El Cazador shipwreck, including its impact on the eventual purchase of the Louisiana Territory by the United States,
at ElCazador.com.
This is an NGC-certified, 1780s Spanish 8-reale solid silver
coin from the El Cazador shipwreck mounted in a protective slab. The coins have varying degrees of damage and
readability (they've
been underwater for 200 years) - please see the picture for examples. Coins
are generally 1 and 7/16ths inches (36mm) in diameter.
