[LM_NET] Target: source for coins/currency from around the world

[Anne-Marie Gordon <agordon@LIVONIACSD.ORG>]

Hello, folks.

I'm trying to collect some real coins/currency from other nations for my students 
to see and hold as part of a second grade project about the nations of the world.  
Can anyone suggest a source for this?  I have one lone English penny right now!

The world of coin-collecting is completely unknown to me, so I have no idea how to 
go about this.  I live in a small town, so local banks are unlikely to handle other 
currencies.  

I'm specifically interested in Mexico, Japan, Israel, India, Australia, Thailand, 
and the United Kingdom.  

Thanks!
