I sometimes buy from these guys and saw some new ones that perhaps some people here might like. Theyare in Canada but no problems shipping to USA. They specialize in coins from around the world.

Colt M16 Commerative - the display case is designed to look like a magazine clip- coin issued by New Zealand. Mintage of 5,000.
31 grams of .999 silver http://www.eurocollections.com/store/product.asp?id=6211

"Scented" Canibis Coin- Gold plated proof 27 grams (only 2,500 made).

They don't allow linking to pictures so I will be linking to other pics. That is why the pic on the canibis coin is silver- not gold. The picture came from here http://www.talismancoins.com/servlet/Detail?no=1197 and the page has a lot more info on the coin.


Technology Note - Aroma
This revolutionary coin is the first in the new, scented Famous Plants of the World series. Each coin will feature the aroma of the plant in questions. Each fragrance has been developed by a professional perfumer (parfumier) using a chemical formula to replicate or reproduce the odor of the famous plant in question. The scent is of the scratch and sniff variety, but nevertheless can be distinctly detected without resorting to actually touching the coin.
