  The NCLT invasion? 

    This collection started out with circulating (in most cases circulated) dollar size crowns. The highlight of the original collection is the 1938 crown that
my father brought back from 
Australia, where he was stationed  in World War II.

    In my enthusiasm to expand the number of countries represented, I started accumulating  “noncirculating legal tender” pieces, and later fantasy pieces,
to the point that fewer than 100 of the 400+ pieces represented here could ever have circulated as money.

       If I had to do it over again, I would draw a line in the sand:   Only acquire pieces that have circulated, i.e. nothing higher than a grade of XF!!

Re: NCLT Issues

See QDB Market Report 12/08/2010
See Pitcock, M.: The Coins at the Back of the Book, The Numismatist, 86(8) 1371-75, Aug. 1973
      Discussing "pseudo-coins", "Controversial Recent Issues", "supercrowns"
    distributed by, inter alia, Paramount International &  Italcambio.

Mr. Pitcock cites  list of characteristics of "pseudocoins"
(l) Metallic content of greater value than the denominational face value;
(2) Very low mintage for both the proof and circulation issues, if any;
(3) Coins only distributed at a price higher than face value,;
(4) Metallic composition unsuitable for circulation use,;
(5) Excessively large face value or physical size to facilitate general use;
(6) Currency units not in general use;
(7) Coins prohibited from or in fact not circulating in the country of issue;
(8) Coins only distributed by a private agency.

  I would add,  not found in circulated condition.
