One of these has already been posted today, but here's my 1956 farthing - the last year this historic British coin was issued - it was demonetised on January 1, 1961, when it was worth about a third of a US cent. In the 1960s and 1970s some dealers used to promote 1956 farthings as an investment, and they were widely touted as a key date. It's true that they have a fairly low mintage, around 2 million, but the vast majority of them are still in EF or better and lots of BU specimens were put aside at the time, so they are fairly plentiful!

Aluminum coins replaced brass coinage some years before independence.

We didn't see this one either 20 Centavos, Mexico. Only its larger 50 C brother got posted before.
