toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 05/06/2006 11:18 pm The only information I could find on your 1991 1 Naira is that the coin is made of Nickel Plated Steel. I drew a complete blank on the 1999 Trinidad and Tobago coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 05/07/2006 02:49 am The "naira" is the Nigerian equivalent to the dollar (there being 100 kobo to the naira) but Nigeria has had some inflationary problems in recent years: there are currently about 130 naira to the US dollar, so that coin's "face value" has fallen to less than a cent - so it's only "worth something" to collectors like us. As the 1 naira is the highest denomination circulating coin in the Krause catalogue and hasn't been issued since 1993, it's safe to assume Nigeria is a country that doesn't use coins anymore - just banknotes. I assume your coin looks like this? The motto at the bottom reads "Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress". Sadly, Nigeria is one of those countries that has historically been sadly lacking in all four of those virtues. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
