i was gonna have a stop at a coin store to go through there bargin bins to find monaco franc coins from 1990's to 2001, how often would you say you can find coins from monaco in world coin bins|??
with coinbins it will be completely random.
There is a chance but I wouldn't say it's a big one.

Not so often...usually if it's a mix of french coins,and the lot wasn't searched much before.
About 0.1 percent of French mixed will be Monaco.
1960 1 f. , and 1962 10 and 20 c. most often. The aluminum wartime one and 2 franc next, vichy punched millions of those.

thank you for the insight, ironically those where the coins I was planning to add to my collection so I do know there is a chance to find them. any idea on the Monaco 10 franc coins if its common to get ?
'Common' circulation coins from Monaco are rare finds in trays of world coins. When sold on Ebay they usually are overpriced. I've been lucky to purchase this 50 (new) francs commemorative not overly expensive.

Never stumbled across any similar coin in at least a decade, though the Numista rarity index may suggest otherwise.

About Monaco Euro coins:
I never found a circulating Monaco Euro coin in either the change I received (mostly in the Netherlands) or in a heap of Euro coins from fund raising. Recently though, I was stunned to receive a San Marino 1 Euro coin in the supermarket in my village. So far, Monaco and Vatican City are the only nations left (with Euro coins minted for circulation) from which I never found any Euro coin in circulation.

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
Well I got a nice silver 5 Francs in a world junk silver lot. I paid around $20NZD an ounce for it in June, now its NZ$43 an ounce, so a good buy


Not bad for a piece of "Junk" silver.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
