Well seems like it since I have a place where I dump my spare quarters and they love getting them, so they dump all their foreign coins with me. Previously I got 100 fils Kuwait, and today I got 2 more coins just handed to me so they could get rid of them.
50 Centavos 1980 Mexico
ONE PENNY 2008 GB (one with the coat of arms)
I now have an actual coin that says it is a penny on it.
Was excited at first, but neither are new countries for me to have coins from and surprised at the size of the penny being about that of a nickel and copper coated steel like Canadian cents near their end, and GB doesn't seem to have any inclination to stopping using them. It may be newer than my 1941 3 pence, but it also now my lowest denomination GB coin.
well not a new country, but I have an honest penny now!
