1950 German 5 Pfenning. First German coin I've found CRHing. Kinda cool finding new and unusual coins in BW rolls.

Not uncommon to find foreign coins while CRHing.
Rest in Peace

That's a fun find. And it's older than I am!


I've come across a few older foreign coins and I always wonder if they were souvenirs, kept for years and years in a drawer.

Fun fact: 1950 is the first year West Germany minted regular issue coins (after World War II divided the country in half), so you are holding a piece of history there!
Rest in Peace

Nice find. I have a newer one of those when a family friend went to Europe and gave it to me. My only foreign CRH finds are a Bermuda penny, a Bahamas penny, and endless Canadians. Good luck!

Hey its wheatchaser140 again. Today I found the exact same coin in a roll, and it was a 1950 too! Weird...
