Wow, that was really fast!

Yes, that's it! But mine is from 2001. Guess they minted it for at least 2 years

To answer coinaholic, the name came up when I was creating a new email address. I wanted to name myself wd40 because I am known to talk my way out of a lot of things. But, gmail would only accept names of 6 or more characters, so I just added the 10 for the income tax filing schedule and hence the name was born. A few weeks later, one of my other friends email me and asked "wd? Does that mean world domination?" and so because of the different theories of the name, it has become simply just "wd1040"

About the coin, I would have to guess that is a UAE 5 fils from the first 1973 series... possibly

I think we can safely assume that is correct.

Here is mine from 1984

OK then. Distracting plant part III.
The coin's color is unaltered this time. The coin's date is 1XX0.
