DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 01:59 am Montana Hondo - I've been on a foreign coin bender as of late. Pulled a 1900-1906 Guangxu 10 Cash out of the ground 10 days ago. That one can be easily explained by Chinese miners during the MT gold rush. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20016.html This one is the oddest foreign by far. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26291 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 03:13 am Very interesting! Probably not even on the list of coins you anticipated finding. At least there's a China to Montana connection. But Tunisia? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

When I was at Tunis Airport returning from my vacation in 2002, the customs official asked the guy in front of me if he had any coins, and made him empty his pocket and leave them behind! He didn't ask me, so I just walked through with mine. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 08:34 am Canadian coins are the only foreign expectation in my neck of the woods. I found a coin from Zaire over the summer, so the tally stands at two denominations from Africa so far. Just love the surprise of it. Report this Post to the Staff
