I've received a couple 1 Piso Philippines, a 1993 danish 1 krone in a roll of nickels, some 5 pence and a Bermuda ten cent in dime rolls.

That's a nice mix. minus CRH finds I'd say I've only really received Canadian or Bermuda coins in change here in the Boston area

I don't have any pictures, but one time these were in a Coinstar reject bucket. A toonie, some silver canadian quarters, a canadian nickel, and 2 german 5 pfennigs. Then, I bought some rolls of pennies at the same bank and got a surprising amount of german 2 pfennig coins within it.

Despite knowingly having spent some foreign coins in the past, I've got very few in change. The ones I can remember are
As 50 Öre:
Norwegian 50 Øre
As 1 Krona:
Norwegian old size 1-Krone, a German 2 Mark (despite the large differance in size!) and a couple of US quarters
As 10 Kronor:
Australian $2
Abroad I've never got any foreign coins as far as I remember, even in the UK.

As far as actually being handed the coin, I think I have only ever gotten Canadian in change.
In rolls, I have gotten coins from Canada, Bermuda, the UK, Euro, Norway, Switzerland, and Thailand.

I have been unlucky in this category. Canadian, Bahamas/Barbados, and Panamanian coins are the only ones I have received in change here around Philadelphia.

Over the past few years, in the UK, I've received one US Lincoln Memorial cent in change and several Euro 2c and 5c coins. All of these were instead of British pennies. I've had a Sri Lanka 5-rupee coin instead of a pound, a recent-date Roosevelt clad dime as a 5p and a Mauritius 10-rupee as a 50p coin. I have also had Manx, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Falklands and Gibraltar coins, but these are of the same denominations as their normal British equivalents. Prior to 1990, I remember getting US clad quarters, a Canadian 1973 Mountie quarter, German marks, French francs, Spanish 5-peseta coins and Belgian 5-franc coins in change (or when searching bank bags) instead of British 5p coins. These coins disappeared when the new smaller 5p was introduced. |

I do not remember everything that I have received, but just last week, I received a coin from the United Arab Emirates back as a nickel.
