Coin Collecting NewsRich by Design
Even though Halil I??ko?lu has amassed marks, franks, dollars and sterling in the millions, he leads a modest life working in the Grand Bazaar where he has run his small shop for decades. He is a collector of foreign currencies from 200 countries and the author of two books on the science of currency, numismatics. The Ottoman coins belonging to the periods of the last six Ottoman sultans and coins of 62 British and French colonies are among many in the collection that worth a fortune. I??ko?lu says there was a limited number of coins minted for colonies, so they are of great value.
