That's one thing my collection lacks. I don't have any gold coins. I may need to work on that.

It sounds like you've got a nice collection.

From my days when I worked in Russia and a few of the former Soviet Republics just after the Soviet Union dissolved, I have quite a few USSR coins and bills. They are worthless except as collectors items, of course.

I only have the one gold piece. Gold was expensive for a kid, even then

When my sister lived in Europe, she picked up a bunch of Russian medals, pins, and such at a flea market. I don't think it was military-looked like the sort of things they would give out to workers for achieving a goal or whatnot.
