Shouldn't the answer be Canadian? I find Canadian cents all the time in pennies. In dimes, it's Canadian dime or British 5 Pence. In halves, it's British large Penny. I've only gotten one Balboa to this date.

Canadian pennies, of course. For me in Michigan, it is an average of 2% Canadian pennies (1 per roll). Non-Canadian, British 5 pence by far

In Panama, US currency and Panama money are interchangeable. Some people bring back Panama coins in their pockets. So it is not strange that we can find them here.

I found:

1x1930;(90% silver)
1x1934;(90% silver)
2x1966;(40% silver)
1x1968;(40% silver)
1x1979;
1x1982;
1x1983;
1x1986;
1x2008;

That's because the U.S. mint manufactured Panama coins for a while.. don't think they do it anymore.

While I do find a few Canadians now and then, I do get my fair share of Mexican Pesos.

Go figure. :laughing9:

Out of Half dollar boxes it's a toss up between Irish punts and Brit pennies. With dime boxes I get a ridiculous amount of Canadian.

Pennies = Canadian
Nickles = its really a tie..Canadian and Bermuda. The Mexico 1 peso is a close runner up
Dimes = O, Canada!
Halves = Medio Balboa
