Phoneguy Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 3:51 pm The reject slot at my local grocery store is very productive. Last week it yielded two 1994 bi-metallic ten dollar Hong Kong pieces. Both are circulation examples not the gold and silver types. Of course 10 HKD = $1.28 USD so it's simply a nice find. I can't take a decent pic of my two coins. The attached image is a 1993 coin from http://www.info.gov.hk Image: 20000210a1.jpg 90.8 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Also, it was heavy and people didn't want another coin. Interesting story, I was in HKIA at night (like at 2) because my flight was late. I bought a coke or whatever and the clerk gave me back a heave $10 coin. So, I went to the bathroom, and after I got up, the $10 coin rolled out of my pocket and into the toilet. I looked at it for a good 30sec, and then I flushed it. dang... that $10 could have bought me something to eat... Report this Post to the Staff
