And today I got a 1962 Spain 50 Centimos copper nickel coin.

This one is Odd that the readable date says "1949" but on each side of the date and the word 'Espana' are two TINY stars - in each of the stars are 2 numbers. In the first is 19 and the second 62. According to Numista the star 'dates' indicate the year of minting.

Interesting Spanish coin, Dearborn! I've got a few 5 pesetas and 25 pesetas coins with the prominent date of 1957, then a single star with a 2-digit date of mintage.
To be honest, I hadn't realized until now that the tiny number was the actual year of mintage and the prominent date was the start of the series... Foreign coins aren't really a collecting interest of mine, though I've somehow managed to accumulate a lot of them over the decades!

Wow, Dearborn - thanks for the information! I just assumed it was coincidence that all 3 of my Spain 50 Centimos are dated 1949 - I'll have to dig them out and check the stars.

very cool Hondo - I didn't realize that there were more out there that had some of these coins..
I think I may post this up in the "recent Acquisitions on the US side so more can see this.

Very nice Numis!
There are a few 'sets' out there I know of 3 - 1949, 1957, 1963, 1966,1975, and 1980 I wonder how many more 'Star' dated sets there are...
Time to go looking

Here is a nice little coin just in today.
1962 Nepal 1 Paisa - 1.4g and 16.7mm
I had to learn how to read the Nepalese dating script to ensure that the date is correct.
Here is a great coin date reading site. For this coin I'll short cut to the Nepal coin I have, but you can edit the url to get back to the beginning and if you are to select a country that has alternate dating schemes (Arabic, Nepalese, or others I can't think of at the moment the page will help you decipher the date. to convert to AD dates that most of the world uses today.

edit - Well I guess that this link is not allowed here on the forum - if you want it - email me for the link privately.
