wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 508 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 8:46 pm The one millieme is from Libya, 1952, according to Don's world coin gallery. The Polish coin looks like it might have been made during the Nazi occupation, as discussed in this thread. A neat historical artifact, I think. Sorry I can't help with values, -wheatiefan Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 9:47 pm The Polish 20 Groszy was minted in 1923. The September Campaign (invasion of Poland) happened in 1939. Correction: DL20K and others wrote that: Quote: the zinc 1923 coins (10 and 20 gr) were struck in the early 1940s without the date change and were used during the occupation.
