I Have Some Coins... What Do I Do Now?

I don't know a lot about foreign coins, but here is a link to a site where you can at least start looking them up. ttps://en.numista.com/catalogue/allemagne-pre1945-1.html?o=y That's a list of German coins.

I think that the whitish coin was made from zinc.ttps://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2586.html

I can't read the date on the last coin.

Anyway, I hope that helps for now. At least it's another place to look. I think you'll get more help with the history of the coins here, though.


As for the less unusual coins, go ahead and post those in the US and Canadian forums when you get the chance. They may be silver or have some other interesting aspect to them. You never know.....

Good luck with your searches.

Although I said every couple days, I guess I'm too impatient and want to get on to the coins that I haven't been able to figure out yet.

Here are two coins (the same coin twice) that I can't really identify, but I have a couple notes below.







Sadly, much of the detail on the first one has been worn off, but the second one looks okayish. I couldn't get the lighting quite right to show all the characters. This is the closest match I could find:

The problem is that the flowering pattern just looks a little bit different. Also, the flowers on mine are more bulby and the image is more leafy.

Also, here's a pretty nice 1960 Hong Kong dollar that I'm posting because it probably goes with the other coins.




Also, if there are other places that I should be posting these images (or at least posting a thread that directs back to this one) in order to improve my chances of getting information, please let me know.

Thanks again!

FYI - I posted about the US coins here:

1958 US nickel with weird ridges on it:

The last little batch aren't currency. One's a parking token, one is a free drink token from Reno, one is a 1940 commemorative coin, and one is sexual in nature (from the "Connect with a..." series of tokens). Are those things of interest to this community? Or should I try to go somewhere else to find the stories behind those?

I'd be interested in the 1940 commem'.

I know I've seen that corroded zinc coin before...it'll come to me...I think

Yes, the date on the 5 franc coin is 1943. It's easier to read at a different angle.
