Any Numismatic in Ghana?

Hello, anybody on here from Ghana, or know a collector in Ghana who I'd be able to make some physical trades with? 
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Based on the membership list
There are 175 registered members from Ghana
9 have coins / Banknotes in collection

I use to live for a long time in Ghana.
I met a lot of people who sold or gave me (old) coins, but in my experience not many Ghanians are intrested in collecting coins.
There was one man who did collect coins and he had a very nice display made for them.
Also in the National Museum in Accra you can see a collection of coins, related to Ghana history.
On the so called ‘Art Markets’ you also may find some, but usually in unpleasant condition.
Hopefully this information will help you, feel free to contact me.

That's interesting, my parents came to Ghana in the 1960s.
I'm yet to meet a collector here, and the few I met in the ‘art markets’ have some in a not so good condition like you said.
Thanks for the input.

Funny, some coins (in my opinion) from the African region, are sold as “collector's item”, which explains why some are harder to find than others.

I am afraid you missed the point of the question.

Any chance someone came into contact with a collector in Ghana recently?
