The "redbook" is "The Official Red Book. A Guide Book of United States
Coins". Though not *strictly* true, it is quite reasonable to say it
covers
all US coins (US issues is a truer statement, covering the Pilippines for
example) and no foreign coins. Numismatists use the word "world" rather
than "foreign" to refer to non-US coins.
The only world coins it covers are colonials issues (no USA at the
time); CSA and Kingdom of Hawaii (for obvious reasons). The
Philippines was part of the US as a commonwealth, just like Puerto
Rico still is.
Naturally! Everybody's foreign *somwehere*!
