Update From Mr. Moneybags

As of this date, Mr. Moneybags' project has grown to 22 pouches filled with coins from the countries marked on the tags. We could name them here but maybe this photo will suffice. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Two questions for Great Aunt Linda: Can we assume that the coin with the mosque on it is from Turkey? We have what looks like Russian money marked with what seems like the Russian alphabet. Do we call the bag Russia or Kyrgasztan?

New Turkish Lira almost always have Ataturk's face on one side. Ataturk is to the Turkish people what George Washington is to us. On the other side of the coin/paper note they will often have a famous building or place. I am guessing that the other coin/note you mentioned is from Kyrgyzstan. They call their paper money "som" there. Great Aunt Linda
