Coin Collection Starter Kit 120 Countries Coins /100% Original Genuine/World Coin with Leather Collecting Album Taged by Country Name and Flags/Coin Holder Collection Storage Classic Gifts

First the problems. Some major countries were left off, including Ethiopia, Libya, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Haiti, Mongolia, and Dominican Republic, and Columbia has a Brazil coin, and a few others are wrong. Most of these can be corrected from my other coin collection. On the positive side there are many obscure and hard to find countries and colonies, or disputed sites. So the missing countries or errors are fine if harder coins to find are included. Since each coin in this collection cost about 58 cents each, this is a fantastic deal.

I love this, my son is obsessed with coin collecting and this is a Christmas present. It's amazing. I've not checked all coins but it's great addition to his collection. The book is heavy duty. One thing I didn't like is the paper tabs need to be more secure, either glued in or secured with tape.

I received it with a lot of excitement, and it could have been a wonderful product, but the quality control is very disappointing. I bought the 180-country version, and to give you an idea, the coins from the following countries were incorrectly included or mislabeled: Bangladesh, Dutch East Indies, Malay States, Tajikistan, Iran, Timor, Rhodesia, North Borneo, Qatar, Djibouti, Zaire, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, Yugoslavia, Albania, Andorra, Montenegro, Dominica, Uruguay, Newfoundland, Guam, Malawi, Turkmenistan, Ghana, and about three more that I managed to avoid leaving empty because I already had coins from those countries and placed them myself. In total, I found around 27 errors in a 180-country collection, which represents approximately a 15% error rate. That is a very high error rate for a product that depends almost entirely on proper classification and quality control. Honestly, what can I say? It is very disappointing to see so many empty spaces. I would gladly update my review if the seller takes responsibility and sends the missing or incorrectly classified coins. If the issue is properly resolved, I would be happy to acknowledge that in my review.

My great grand daughters really think this is kewl, and so do I. colorful, really like seeing the flags, places I never heard of... Gemini help me learn more, cuz no clue what goes where if you want to follow the list and put it in order

There were some coins that were assigned to the wrong country (i.e. a Euro coin that was assigned to Azerbaijan, Sri Lanka coin assigned to Mongolia, etc.). However, it was overall a fascinating set, and it is a good choice for people who are just starting to collect world coins. It can also be a good educational gift. I am glad that I purchased this coin set, but please be aware that some coins may not be assigned to the right country.

Very nice. I'm not a collector, but it's a good conversation piece.

1) The QR code takes you to an internet page . . . in Chinese. I can't tell what the page says but it's not a huge job for the seller to translate the information for the country in which the product is being sold. One of the most-interesting things about coin or stamp collecting is learning about the country -- where it is on a map, for example, or what it's famous for. They missed a big opportunity by not having the QR code lead to meaning (and understandable) info. 2) The small squares with information about each coin don't stay in their slots -- the pouches should have a closure like the pouches that hold the actual coins. 3) Our young grandson is about to turn 9 so I will let him figure out if any coins don't match the information paper.

Some of the coins are in the wrong spot for example Canada has a Canadian coin with its flag but Australia also has a Canadian Nickle even with a few errors I found its still a super cool set for the price
