Gotta love Fridays for road coins ,I got another one today  I am really liking crossing roads after todays result ....the clouds were very dark and gathering fast, a downpour was imminent and then out of the corner of my eye near the yellow line I saw something with an interesting color which I kicked slightly and it sounded familiar !  While not terribly damaged , it had small scuff marks on 3 corners ....  By the time the rain sprinkled me I was taking this beauty home and a little wetness didnt matter ......good things tend to come on wet days  |

The time was late yesterday afternoon , it was getting dark ...I had just finished an exciting afternoon when going past the Bus company garage by the corner I spotted something ...  It was pretty beat up  and I just managed to barely read the year, its a 2008 Ironside reverse penny ..... |

Found this in the road yesterday - a 2000 £1 coin, slightly damaged but spendable!  Edited by NumisRob

Not British coins but they do have the Queen on them! These are three aluminium 1-cent East Caribbean coins that I picked up during my Caribbean trip before Christmas. The left-hand and middle coins were from the main street in Castries, St Lucia. The right-hand coin was found on a beach in Antigua!   |

I found a 2007 nickel in front of the machine where people buy TTC tokens. Someone must have dropped their change. Nobody bothered to pick it up, so I did.

Found my first road coin for ages today - a 2008 new design (shield reverse) 2p. It obviously hadn't been lying there very long and still had quite a bit of mint lustre, not bad for a six-year-old coin.

I love how American pennies look like ancients after they've been lying outside all winter. 1982 copper on the left, zinc on the right.  |

I've never had much luck with road coins, but 5 or 6 years ago a relative found an American cent in the road. But the interesting thing is the date- 1944. What are the odds?

 Found in circulation ! As noted, I think this coin has lived life in the fast lane for a while...LOL |

Found in the street less than 100 yards from my house - this is the worst bronze-clad steel 2p I've ever seen...  ... and no prize for guessing which way up this 2004 penny was lying when I found it!  |

I found a small hoard!  I was walking home in the dark and saw a coin catching the glare from a street light - it was a 2010 2p. When I bent down to pick it up, I saw a 5p, then two 20p's... Eventually I found 9 coins totalling 73p including the worst 2015 20p I've seen! I wonder how many people must have just walked past them? |

Bumping this thread! I was out for a walk this evening and found a 2010 2p and a 2003 1p - separately but along the same section of road!   |

I was crossing the Mall in London yesterday - the street that runs from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace - and I found this unfortunate 1984 20p. Perhaps it was run over by a limousine carrying the very lady portrayed on the obverse?  |
