A better world coins forum?

This is a great forum is US coins. No disrespect to our hosts, but the "World & Ancient" section doesn't seem to get much traffic. Anyone know of a good, more active forum for non-US coins?

Forums-wise and English-speaking I would say cointalk is more active when it comes to world coins. There are also a number of discord channels and some large instagram and facebook group chats. Reddit has a strong following on r/coins but that's US-heavy. For world coins there are also niche forums covering specific subjects that might be considered more active than this forums, but it all depends on what you're looking for.

Instagram is fine but is picture oriented by its nature. Reddit has like 2 good world coin posts a month and a metric ton of of fake 1795 dollars, circulating US quarters, and blurry pictures. The posts are relatively infrequent here in comparison but of very high quality thanks to the likes of @TwoKopeiki and many others.

Numisforums.com for ancients and some world. World depends on what exactly. Coincommunity.com has more posters for certain areas. There are several Facebook groups too of varying quality.

Good point. I enjoy seeing world coins in general, but my niche area would French gold coins from the 19th century.

I also don't mind if the forum is in a non-English language. All the translation tools that are now available make it easy to interact.
