Or perhaps, not.

No, sadly just a typo Steve! 1971 of course! Worth ... a pound!

Today is Sunday, but I found the following change in the jeans I wore this on Friday as they went in the laundry -

2 cent - Germany
20 cent - Austria
50 cent - Spain
2x 1 Euro - Germany
2 Euro - Italy commemorative, World Food Program

I use cash whenever I can (partly to see what coins I can get in change), though bank debit cards are also fairly common here. I just bought a used car from a dealer for 2500 euros, and they preferred cash. Credit cards can be fairly commonly used for at large chains, though bank transfers are far more common here than in North America.

Hello people, I'm from skippy land too. Personally I rarely use coins or banknotes, mainly credit card to get point, but always pay it back. The current coins I have have been in my pocket for about 2 weeks. They consist of one 5c (2012), two 10c (1967, 68), seven 20c (1974, 75, 79, 2* 81, 82, 2010), three 50c (1969, 75, 2001), three $1 (1984, 2010, 2013), one $2 (2010).

I don't buy much crap food. WHat I did buy as follows:
7 kiwi fruit, $2.
1 0.5 kg roast pork, $10 on special.
1 Chai Latte small, $3 trying to get off coffee.
1 270 g cheesecake, $8.
1 375 mL Solo, $2
My partner and I usually eat at cha chan teng (cantonese), and a meal is about 12-15 dollars each.

In Hong Kong, although not pocket change but a trip to see family. It can shed light on coins in circulation. I go there once a year, I usually get all coins. From my last visit to family I got eight 10c (1982, 90, 2*97, 4*98), four 20c (1991, 3* 1995), three 50c (1994, 97, 98), six $1 (1995, 2*97, 3*98), twelve $2 (1993, 94, 3*95, 97, 4*98, 2*2012), seven $5 (1993, 2*1995, 1998, 2*2012, 2013), four $10 (2* 1994, 2* 1995)
Next time I will get some prices, but HK is becoming expensive.
