Not a CRH find:
but a few months ago I received a Canadian Nickel with the latest portrait of the Queen in change.
"WOW" I said, and the clerk immediately offered to make good.
"Oh no!" I replied.
Not because it was valuable, but because I had never seen one before.
I am in southern Connecticut about a five mile drive from Canada, and I have from time to time over the years received Canadian coins in circulation.
I was pleased.
Really, what is five cents anyway?

I hunt in Arizona, Mexican, and Colombian coins in pennies I have come across a lot, as well as Euros.

I guess most of can report finding a proof coin that has escaped into circulation.

I've found a few dimes in cent rolls, and one in a nickel roll as well. Foreign coins aren't uncommon, usually Canadian, Euro, or miscellaneous Caribbean/Latin American coins. Best were probably a 1970s 20 Rappen, a Thailand 1 Baht, and a 1927 KGV Canadian nickel. And accordselux, you found a proof-only 3 cent coin in circulation? I think I speak for the rest of us when I say  |

Finn if it's a proof only coin than my memory must be wrong. It was just a nickel composition 3 center, and was worth less than $10, I'll have to double check the date. I've found a few Seated dimes and two 3 cent coins in rolls and I get the dates mixed up. I'll have to double check the right date. |

Ahh, yes the 1878 had a mintage of just over 2,000 and is worth in the neighborhood of $400-800.

I had a box of brinks nickels yesterday score me a 2007 1 krone with a reeded edge, and much smaller than a nickel. Also found a 1 yujiao or whatever, I forgot, brass/bronze out of a nickel roll last month.

I looked again, it was 2 1868's. One pretty badly mauled, and another one in actually decent shape.

As of now it's been many years since I found anything except what was supposed to be in a roll.

I was just thinking about this... has anyone ever been cheated on their coins? I know that you can get some foreign coins super cheap, and I'm surprised that I've never gotten a roll stuffed with foreign junk in place of halves or quarters.
I did talk to a cashier who said that she once got a customer who paid in rolls of dimes that were actually full of cents with the rims filed off. Funny how some people will spend so much time to cheat people out of a couple bucks.

I almost every week get rolls of quarters with nickels in side, one or 2 nickels in a roll.
