You will all be very pleased to know that both Cyprus & Malta are changing over to the Euro on New Year's Day.

Here is what the coins of these 2 countries,which are both British Commonwealth & E.U. member states,look like; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_euro_coins & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_euro_coins .

Please feel free to email me for a contact in Cyprus.

He he he, this mean that my old Cyprus coins might start to worth something !

[Royalist0007]

Franky,it depends on what Cypriot coins you do have.Can you please post up some photos?

Aidan.

[Franky]

Here you go !

Voilà !

Not sure about the 3rd one (boat), I've been keeping them for over 20 years now.

Franky,those are all very common coins.The one with the ship is a 5 Mils of the Republic of Cyprus.It's a shame about the 1955 5 Mils,as that is munted.

The other side is worst, but for a 15 years old kid (at the time) they were all very cool

Franky,have you thought about putting photos of your coins up on www.omnicoin.com ? You should take the coins out of the holders first before taking the photos.

There's a photo editing program called Irfanview,which you can download for FREE.It was created by a guy from Bosnia-Hercegovina.Type 'Irfanview' into www.google.ca ,& you can find the link.

I'm going to take a look, but I'm not sure if I will remove my coins from the holder, I have a 3inch binder of those.

Franky,you can download Irfanview from here; www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm .

I'm sure that you could use it for editing your coin photos.
