I was out at a store last night and happened to see a kiddie quarter machine with foreign coins in it. I haven't used one in so long, I didn't know stuff had gone up to 50¢.

I had 50¢ in my pocket and asked the cashier to exchange a dollar for quarters. These are the coins I got. (Btw.. apologies to Don @ http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed / for the stock coin pictures because I didn't feel like scanning them.)

Thailand - 1 Baht (2008?)

I think this is a pretty neat idea. Hopefully it'll get some kid into collecting.

PS: The dates under the coin pics are the dates of the ones I got.
Rest in Peace

That's kind of a cool idea -- way better than trying to pick up a stuffed animal with the claw -- and alwaysa missing. LOL

That's really neat to see, I think it's a great way to get the little ones started with their very own collection. I'll admit it, I'd put some quarters in for myself too once in a while

OT but this caught my eye. Have apartment buildings and laundry machines. Every couple weeks I roll quarters with those tube things while watching the news (mosdef coin collector). Maybe $600 per month. You can pick out silver, maybe five quarters a year by checking the edges before dumping them into the plastic tube. United Arab Emerates 1 Dirham, which are not clad, come up maybe 2x per year. No idea what the exchange rate is, though I would bet a dirham is less than 25c.
