Can any of these coins be used today? Or do they belong to governments that are no longer? I wish you posted a description of each coin because I do not know what any of them are

From a quick glance they are all currencies or countries that no longer exist, which is what makes coins like this great. Which would you rather have: a 2012 USA penny, or a 1922  Czechoslovakia Korun?

Edited to add: if I had more skill and time I would make a line of physical bitcoins that take old coins like this and converts them to BTC, digging out a spot for a private key and overlaying the Bitcoin amount. There is actually a long history of countries reusing old coins in this way and it would look awesome.

These coins are old coins that are no longer in use today. In my opinion that's the point in collecting: preserving something because of its historical and esthetic appeal. I think it makes not so much sense to offer coins that are still in use today, because these coins are abundantly available.

I did not compile a list, because of the significant time required to look up and describe 12 x 12 different coins. I think you can easily identify the coins from the pictures provided. Instead of investing time for a list I chose a low starting bid to let the free market decide.

Yeah that's definitely an interesting thought. From the past to the future. Smiley
