Nice finds! I too have found many a foreign coin crhing. Wow! Your bank refunds you for foreign coins you find? That is really nice. I never thought of asking if they would do that before. I just keep them, and have accumulated over $20 face in Canadian, and a lot of other foreigns.

Thanks guys, nothing special. Fun to see some other coin designs. The south Korean 10 won coin is the lightest coin iv found, feels like plastic lol

Great selection! I occasionally get Canadian and American quarters in bank bags of 10p coins in England.

Nice finds. Some of the ring-ins I find in 'sorted' coin bags really amaze me as to how they ever made it through the coin sorting machines.

It's fun to see how even though we are across the world an interest connects us. Though the only time I think iv met an Asian enthusiastic numismatic is on my music thread.
I have a several songs I need to listen to while roll bunting, iv just been to focused on these pennies and my son:). As for machines guessing what a coin is, I have put a quarter into a vending machine and it was recognized as 1$ as for coinstar I dumped about 60 dimes in with 95$ worth of other change and it recognized my dimes as Penny's. Mechanical errors just like any other mass production with machines.

This is a new one for me, usually the foreign coins I find are worth less then the value of the coin missing. Found it in a dime roll.   It's a 1 new shequel, Hebrew. |

I have found at least another half dozen or so foreign coins since I posted this so I figured I'd update. Most of them are buried on my desk,this one I found yesterday in a dime roll, haven't seen this one before   I'll post some others when I find them. |

I'm pretty amazed at the diversity of forign coins iv been finding. Haven't found any forign silver but still coins from all around the world. Some of the ones iv found are quite beautiful, others a little creepy lol but I'm sure it's because I don't know anything about them. The NZ ones with the big statue thing holding what babies is probably the one that weirded me out the most lol. I'll have to do some research so I know what it represents. Also I will have to look up the animal on the Australian coin, it looks like a platypus/porkupine hybrid lol Found one more. Think this is it for all my forign finds in the last while. I gave a few away to people at work like a coin from Portugal and a few others. This one is quite nice, I like sea turtles:p.   Also, the Australian animal is an echidnas. That's a tough work to spell by sounding it out lol. My first try spelling was achidna lol Edited by Wrekkdd
