My grandson has taking interest in world coinage. I'm looking for a place to buy him a couple pounds of bulk coins, key would be variety of countries. Don't want a pound of Mexico mixed in.
TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
I don't know if the same is true in America or elsewhere, but here in Australia, the best and most interesting "world coin mix" I've seen comes from coin dealers based in the country's capital city, Canberra. All those embassies, with foreign nationals and tourists coming to and fro; their coins all wind up in the coin dealer's scratchtray.
So if you're in America, maybe try a coin dealer based in Washington DC?

I would suggest that you take him to a local coin show! Some dealer will have bins of stuff for young and old to paw through. And, what part of the country are you in? I might be able to find some one or a show in your area so you could get some more interesting world coins by the pound.

Try your local brick & mortar coin shop. Many shops buy lots of foreign, sort out the silver and toss the rest into a bin they sell by the pound.

Lou,
Send me a message with you’re mailing address. I’ll send out a few pounds for your grandson.

Apparently I have been awarded the DPOTD twice.
