Off the top of my head the ones I like most are from Mexico, Japan, the UK, Russia, and some of the Euro coins. Is there a source where I could just browse the various coins in regular circulation in the world? I started searching on Google, but I got a bunch of results for weird novelty coins from Somalia.

Wow that is some fantastic information, thanks! I'd give you some reddit tokens, but you answer is worth more than that. ๐Ÿ˜„

No worries! I'm just glad to share a neat thing :)

Oh one more thing I just remembered -- ancient bronze coins were made with a fair amount of lead. If you go to a dealer, sometimes it's a huge pile of dusty coins... that dust is like 10% lead. So resist the urge to lick your fingers, and instead go wash your hands :P
