Found a mountain of old coins from my grandmother in the village, sold to collectors for a lot of money

With the development of technology, Ukrainians are increasingly paying for services and goods by cashless means. After all, it is very convenient and fast when you are not looking for the right banknotes and coins for payment, but simply use a bank card. Quick calculation and no change (which still need to be put somewhere to not lose). Comfortable for both the buyer and the seller.

Of course, banknotes are still in demand, although coins have been losing popularity in recent years. Due to the stable increase in prices, coins of 1, 2, and 5 kopecks have already been withdrawn from circulation. Instead, we see coins even in denominations of 5 and 10 hryvnia. The variety of coins will be even more impressive.

Today's edition. "Site" I will tell you about some particularly valuable coinage. After all, sometimes we do not realize that among a handful of small things lies something very rare and valuable. Pay attention to the contents of the wallet (or piggy bank). Who knows, maybe there are a couple of coins that are worth much more than their face value.
