The Principal of our host school, Pedro, is an avid coin collector. Specifically, he collects Spanish coins, some of which are over 2000 years old! He was nice enough to bring them in to show us and give us a little history to go along with it.
An example of some of the thousands of coins Pedro owns. He says that he's been collecting them since he was a child and tends to find a lot of them on eBay.
