I always enjoy the foreign coin finds in nickel rolls. The 5 cent Bermuda is my favorite with the fish on the obverse.
Best coin was a 1876 german 2 pfennigin some penny rolls

I've been searching through rolls over many decades, and have found a good number of world (foreign) coins. Most interesting I've come across was a 1923 Russian 10 Kopeks piece. Then there was a car wash token, but that's another story.

lol... all of the time. Best find was a 1954 Canadian dime a couple of years ago. o/t, but I also once found a dead silverfish in a roll of nickels.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Sure - I had over 15 foreign countries represented from my nickel roll searches when I stopped at 392,000 nickels searched.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Here in the US, I've found coins from quite a few countries, mostly Canadian, though, due to the proximity. I've also found Mexican pesos, Japanese coins, Euros, etc. The oldest I've ever found was a 1935 KG5 cent (aside from KG6 cents). Also found a 1951 Belgian 1 franc and a 1958 West German 2 cent.

In the UK I occasionally get US and Canadian quarters when I get a £5 bag of 10 pence coins from the bank.

When I find foreign coins searching through rolls of pennies, I usually find Canadian pennies.
Errers and Varietys.

I have found numerous foreign coins. Again mainly Canada, but I have come across Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Eastern Caribbean States, Panama, and Morocco as well.
