Coin Collecting as an Ex-Patriot

Looking for some advice from any forum members who have lived internationally and continued to pursue their collecting interests. My family and I are likely relocating to Ireland in the next three months for my job and I have no desire to curtail my rare gold collection.
Key considerations to explore for me will be...
1. If I take possession in Ireland is their a duty/tax effect or other consideration?
2. Should I just have the coins shipped to a family member to depoit in my SDB? I only get to examine them when I fly home once a quarter or so.
Any other key considerations from folks who have been in a similar position.
Thanks in advance.

Are there any insane countries with duties on personal items on the initial move?
deposit box with another person so both can have access. Find somebody you
really trust. The coins in the box should be clearly identified as your property.
You wouldn't want them to become part of the joint party's estate.
Personally, I wouldn't have gold coins sent to me in Ireland and wouldn't
want to be going through airport security and US Customs when moving back from Ireland
to the United States.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I like the idea of scouring Europe for dirty gold while you are there. You can resume US coin collecting upon your return.

<< <i>Is there such a thing as old, rare Irish gold? >>
During the Irish Civil War of the 1640s gold was struck - Ormonde money or something similar.
Not coin realted, but I got hooked on sterling silver teapots, spoons and the like while I was there. Make sure to haggle, most has a 50% markup, and know your hallmarks before hand.
Depending on where you are going, I can hit some of the highlights for you.

The duty you pay coming back might be different depending on when you take delivery. If it's longer than a certain amount of time, it might be treated differently than things bought just before returning.

p.s. I didn't purchase any ancient coins in Turkey, just modern (post 1800) stuff!
