Sorry, didn't know what the key dates were for Liberty nickels. Figured it was a common. |

yeah DaBoz! lucky!! btw I dont know an awful lot about american coins, I myself have a mint condition 1885 silver Morgan dollar that is sealed (well not techically sealed for good, you could open it if you had the right equipment) in thick hard plastic for many many years! there is only a few very light scratches on it. what would its value be? maybe there is different variations of the dollar back in the late 1800s? |

I think Banjax's picture of his Thai coin answered one of my questions. One of my co-workers found a coin I had never seen before today, and I think it has the same guy on it as in the coin pictured. The writing is similar too, but the coin I have is all silver colored. I forgot to bring the blasted thing home with me, but maybe this weekend I'll get some pictures posted. If it is a Thai coin then I get to add another country to my list! Woo-hoo!  Rachel  |

well if I had known about this forum years ago I would have been posting a lot, but I will give just the current finds:
yesterday I made my weekly trip to the bank to get some rolls from a teller I befriended, (she knows a decent amount about what to look for) and I took all her rolls so she needed to get some from a young teller next to her, and wouldnt ya know the penny rolls she gave us were bulging! we noticed it right away and pulled out 2 5-cent euros and a bridge token that reads "metropolitan transit authority, one fare" whee!
however from the penny rolls I only got about 10 wheats, and I withdrew $20 worth of pennies...sad pull there. but the euros are great!
its the simple things...
as for the euros, I'm not terribly familiar with how they work...it has the word eire on them and the instrument...is that for ireland or is the currency not related to one country? or did they just put different countries heritage stuff on the coins?

Eire is Ireland. Each country of the EU has a common EU side with the denomination and a national side with something representing that particular country. Each country's Euros are minted at the respective national mints but they circulate freely among all of the Euro-using countries. http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance...mages_en.htmEdited by biokemist6

Yep, the one on the left is the one that I have! Woo-hoo! I have no idea how a coin from Thailand made its way to middle of nowhere Indiana... That's exciting, I get to add another country to my list-I have never seen Thai coins until just now.  Andorra Euros? I didn't know such a beast existed... Rachel |

The Thai coin was in a customer's change that they brought in to be counted. We don't have any customers from Thailand that I know of, and if anyone had been there recently they didn't tell us about it! Normally our customers are of the talkative type, so if someone went overseas we'd probably hear about it. We do have a few military families, I suppose that might have been how it got here... I dunno? Ooh- new smilies!  (sometimes see a few of those around here)  (could use that one with some hockey fight pictures!)  Very cool!  Rachel |

A couple days ago I found a 1957-D wheatie in a gas station parking lot. It had been damaged a bit from getting runover, but nothing horrible. Not much of a find, but I seriously only find about 1 Wheat cent each year. So, I guess maybe I'll find another in 2008!  Thundercoin |

thekurt,
Military bases have a lot to do with foreign coins in circulation. If someone was stationed in Guam or South Korea, its a little more likely you find Thai coins in circulation. There is an Air Force Base were I live. I find foreign coins all the time. I suspect it's from all the people stationed over seas because almost everyone I talk to say they just got back or are about to leave the country.
Good things,
Ty
