Coins for a boy scout, do you think it's a good mix?

You think this a good mix. They need 30 coins from 10 countries.

Germany 1, 2, 5, 10pf, and 1 mark
Italy 50 and 100 liras
UK big 1/2 and 1 penny, new 1/2 penny, 1 penny, 2 pence, 10 pence
France  5, 10, 20 centimes and 20 fracs
Canada 1, 5, 10, 25 cents
Mexico  5, 10, 50 centavos and 1 peso
Jamaica 25 cents, 1 dollar
India 10 paise
Cayman Islands 1 penny
Bahamas 1 penny
Brazil 1 centavo

  I just made up 4 of these, some a little different. That's a good mix for someone starting. If you were just starting out and someone gave you these would you be happy?

you know us old guys did I miss something feed back from the young please

Looks great.

You forgot the USA. Add in a wheat or a buffalo.

A good mix is not necessarily the cheapest coins, but the most common.

So coins like French centimes and francs (especially bimetallic 10 francs), British 1/2 new pennies and 10 pence, Thai 1 bahts from the 60's, US wheat cents, etc.

Personally I give away coins that no one will want to swap to the kids (or buddies who don't collect, why not). It'll make them happy, that's really what matters.

Hey dude, 20 francs was not a current coin
Even my mother didn't remember it!

10 Francs was 100 times more usual.
Even this following false 10 francs

not easy to get now in our collection, cause this coin was systematically monopolised by the national bank.
We were always suspicious when the seller made ​​money, even though this coin was recognizable by his poor crimping. When you inherited one of these false coins, you had to manage to pass it to another store

I would add 1 Kopek, 1 Baht, and 1 Jiao instead of the Cayman Islands coin which should not be not common unless you can afford expensive vacation
that has appeared to be your case, lucky man

Hey now, the non-proof issues are fairly common.  And they really are nice-looking coins.

I have to say as a kid I used to love seeing coins from other countries and territories with our queen on and it baffled me :D

I was thrilled when a friend gave me this coin.

It had a a dragon on it! I spent my whole life seeing just eagles on quarters and old buildings on nickels and pennys.
I was completely wowed when I got this coin

My thoughts were "It has a friggin hole in it!!! Why is there a hole in it?!"

Man I wish I could be as easily wonderstruck by common coins like when I was a kid.

But we grow up and it takes a rarer coin to to get us to say "Wow!"
