janknez Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 02/12/2007 7:24 pm A woman I know has relatives in Lebanon who travel a lot, and she asked them to save up some coins for me. What a little treasure trove she has given me. I spent the morning looking all of these up (with hints from RenaL on the Middle Eastern ones). All are at least VG, I think. I don't go out of my way to collect foreign coins, but I do keep each and every one that comes my way. I'm posting this list just because I'm so pleased with this little infusion of coins, especially coming in so serendipitous a way. Belgium (2000) Euro 2 cents Bulgaria (1999) 20 stotinki Cyprus (1996) 1 cent Cyprus (1998) 2 cents Cyprus (2004) 5 cents Cyprus (1985) 20 cents Egypt (1984) 5 piastres Egypt (1984) 10 piastres France (2001) Euro 5 cents Germany (1982) 2 marks Germany (2002) Euro 20 cents Germany (2002) Euro 50 cents Great Britain (1994) 2 pence Great Britain (1990) 5 pence Great Britain (1992) 10 pence Great Britain (1994) 20 pence Greece (1990) 50 drachmes Jordan (1975) 10 files Jordan (1974) 50 fils Jordan (1978) 50 fils Jordan (1978) 100 fils Lebanon (1996) 50 livres Lebanon (1996) 100 livres Lebanon (2003) 250 livres Lebanon (2003) 250 livres Lebanon (2003) 250 livres Netherlands (2001) Euro 1 cent Netherlands (2005) Euro 5 cents Netherlands (2000) Euro 10 cents Saudi Arabia 25 halala Saudi Arabia 50 halala Spain (1980) 1 peseta Spain (1987) 1 peseta Spain (1975) 5 pesetas Spain (1982) 100 pesetas Switzerland (1932) 20 rappen Switzerland (1982) 1/2 franc Switzerland (1968) 1 franc Syria (1960) 10 piastres Syria (1974) 50 piastres Syria (1979) 50 piastres Syria (1971) 1 pound Syria (1978) 1 pound Syria (1996 ) 5 pounds Syria (1990) 25 pounds Jan Report this Post to the Staff

janknez Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 02/13/2007 10:11 am I know, Steve -- that's why I posted it. My favorite, actually, is the one from Bulgaria. That took some detective work. The woman's relatives had said it was Greek -- the Cyrillic alphabet fooled them. I kept looking for Russian coins, then finally I found a chart on the internet and translated the letters. The word I got was STOTINKI, and I thought -- that can't be right. Nobody would call their money stotinki! But evidently the Bulgarians do. I think I enjoyed the research as much as having the coins. Jan Report this Post to the Staff
