bergerhaus New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 5:10 pm I got a bag of 50 random foreign coins from Amazon, and I have been successful in identifying all but one. Can anyone help me with either the country, date or denomination of this coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

bergerhaus New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 7:29 pm Yep, that's the one. I never would have guessed Ethiopia. I was searching all the Middle Easten countries. I spent hours today searching. Wish I had tried this forum sooner. Thank you so much for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
bergerhaus New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 8:40 pm After more research, I am going to assume this is a five-cent coin as it measures 20 mm. The 10-cent coin is 23 mm. Sorry that I didn't include this info in my original post. I have another coin just like it although not is as good of shape. Is the date stamped on the coin, or is it the design that determines the date the coin was minted? Report this Post to the Staff

BostonJo New Member United Kingdom 33 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 09:20 am I'd be interested in selling foreign coins on Amazon ! Do you have the link to the bag of 50 random foreign coins on Amazon, please ? (I've searched for it but not found it). Report this Post to the Staff
bergerhaus New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 1:32 pm It has been several months since I bought it, so Amazon may not have it available anymore. Littleton Coin Company sells a 1/2 pound of Foreign Coins for under $20. You might check there. In regards to the dating issue. I found a site that listed the Ethiopian numbering system, so I figured it out. Report this Post to the Staff
