I have not seen this since 1985, so it may be fun to see what's in it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17901 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 2:08 pm The 10p coins look like the large old type (withdrawn in 1992) but the 1p and 2p coins are still legal tender if you ever come to the UK! Just check to see if you have any 1982, 1983 or 1984 2p coins. These were only issued in sets but a few did escape into circulation, and are worth more than face value. And, if you find a 1983 2p with 'NEW PENCE' rather than 'TWO PENCE' on the reverse, you've hit the jackpot - that's the rare mule coin!

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 4:14 pm Well my exploration has found 2 more bags of coins that were hidden behind the 'Phone box' coin bank. and it has spread to no less than 20 world countries so far. these include: Canada, Germany, France, Bermuda, Ireland, Vietnam, Malaysia, Jamaica, Jugoslavia (Yugoslavia), Italy, Netherlands, England, Bahrain, Singapore, Mexico, U.A.E., EDIT: add Philippines, Hong Kong, Spain, Japan, and a few I cannot identify yet. I also found in the pile already is a 1962 (my birth date Irish coin!) I did have a nice surprising find already: a clipped (incomplete) planchet from Bermuda - 1970 5 cent piece. Here is my world coin pile so far. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

I guess I'm already doing that with my Birth year collection - one coin from every country that existed in 1962. I may also gather a coin from every country as well, (seeing how there are newer countries that came into existence after that date.) Edit to fix spelling error. Collecting since 1972.
