Search. Identify. Learn.
Welcome to the World Coin Database!
The goal of this site is to provide coin collectors and the general public with guides to help identify, catalog, and learn about world coins.
The World Coin Database strives to differentiate itself from other world coin sites by having extensive searching and browsing capabilities.
Standardized lists of countries and currencies have been developed to help users catalog their collections.
The coin descriptions are linked heavily to Wikipedia content so users can learn more about the topics of their coins.
Please feel free to send comments, questions, and suggestions to brent@worldcoindatabase.com.
New coins are added frequently, so check back often.
