My brother and his wife are collectors of beautiful orchids. As a birthday present I wanted to buy a nice coin with a colored orchid. The Singapore Mint has a series of these orchid coins selling for Sing $178 or approximately USD 130. Now here is the catch, shipping and insurance out of Singapore adds another USD 25+ per coin.
Has anyone tried to buy a coin from the Singapore Mint and shipped it back to the States? Is there a cheaper way of doing this other than to have a friend buy and ship it for you?
If travel to Singapore, do not miss the National Orchid Garden, it will blow you away with the colors. scents and type of plants. John

$25 for registered mail is, and this might be surprising, not even all that much. That's about how much it costs to ship a coin registered out of the US.
