Legit commemorative coins! Truman is Liberia's KM690, Ike is KM691. Liberia does a LOT of these. In fact, you could probably collect Liberia 5 dollar commemorative coins for the rest of your life and you might never get caught up.

BTW, They remind me of something I haven't done in a while...

Nearly 200 posts into the thread, and it continues to intrigue me what you come across! I see a nice bimetal Thailand on the bottom... Can't tell for sure but looks like 10 baht? Aggressive may exchange that! What's wrong with the two quarters?

Thai numerals:

[hobo finds]

Aggressive may exchange that Will he exchange any current foriegn coin?

[AGgressive Metal]

Wow you have quite the haul there! Bully for Franklin. In reply to hobo finds, yes I exchange most major countries! I mainly buy foreign coins because that is my niche, but I can pay even higher for banknotes because they are so much cheaper for me to ship and an easier sell to potential travelers. I totally missed this thread because its in USA numismatics, haha.
