That depends quite a bit on what you have! Are your foreign(*) coins current circulation pieces? What country or countries are they from? If they're current issues (e.g. Japanese yen, British pounds/pence or EU euros/cents), your best bet would be to find someone who's travelling to one of those places and sell them at the current exchange rate. You can find rates posted on line or in the financial section of any major newspaper. Unfortunately most exchange agencies (American Express, Deak, etc.) don't want to exchange coins, only bills, so you'll have to trade them privately. If they're older coins or very mixed, you'll need to take them to a hobby shop or somewhere similar to have them looked at in person. In most cases they're probably not worth more than their face value, maybe less if they're no longer used (e.g. francs, marks, lira, etc.) but you still ought to make sure you don't have some more valuable piece mixed in. If they're common, a dealer will only pay you a small amount and will probably put them in a grab box. (*) Please note that I had to make a minor spelling correction to your posting so that the word "foreign" could be found by a standard search.

How much are Venezuelan coins worth in America?

I am assuming you are asking about a modern coin and want to exchange it for an American coin. The answer depends on the exchange rate between the foreign currency and the American. Many banks won't/can't take foreign coins for exchanged. If you asking about an older coin to sell you would have to take it to someone who knows about the value. Value depends on shape, year, and materials of the coin.


What coin was Ronald Reagan on?

The US has not minted any Ronald Reagan coins. There are plans for a one-dollar coin in about 4 years. The US mint has minted bronze medals for Reagan that resemble coins but have no face value. Some foreign countries such as Liberia have minted Reagan coins mostly to sell to Americans at more than face value.

How do you find the value of old foreign coins?

Go to your local library and ask the reference librarian if they have any of the Krause guides to world coins. These are chock-full of pictures and variety listings. If you have coins from one of the major countries such as France, the U.K., Germany, etc. there are also many sites listing values. Try entering a list of terms such as "Germany coin value OR price" (without the quotes, of course) into one of the better search engines.
