foreign coins found in rolls... ADD YOUR OWN!!!

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, I decided to run a thread about what kinds of foreign coins you come across in rolls...
since there are both American and Canadian hunters on here, coins from the US and Canada are not considered "foreign", I am talking Mexican or other continents/islands.

Here's my batch so far this year-
Penny sized coins:
Bahama starfish pennies, too many to count...
Bermuda hog pennies, too many dates,
Barbados cents

Nickel sized coins:
Bermuda fish nickels: 1983, 1996, 1997, 2004
Bahama pineapple nickels: 1998, 2000, 2005
singapore 20 cent pieces: 1986, 1997, 1997
Great Brittain 20p: 2009, 2010
Poland 50 groszy: 1995
Switzerland: 20 rappen 1965
Russia: 1 rouble?? 2009
Italy 5 eurocent, 2002
Turkey 25 kuros 2005
Asian- chinese? 5 - something- no date

Dime sized:
Great brittain 5p: 1990, 1995, 2001, 2007
Panama dime: 2001, 2008, both enders as you can't detect them edge checking
Russia: 2000, 2008 10-something
Moldava- 2005 25 Bani-aluminum
pakistan 2- 1967- aluminum
ecuador- 2000 10c

trinidad tobago- 1979 cent
east caribbean states- 2007 dime
Hong kong 1987 10c
phillipines- 1993 50 centavos

Quarter sized:

I have gotten a huge amount of foreigns from change or CRH. However, I don't keep track of my change finds seperately. One coin that I remember well is a 1943 South African 3 pence (80% silver). This is my only foreign silver from the wild. Also, can I see a pic of the Asian "5" coin that is nickel sized? The Taiwan coin is 5 yuan or 5 dollars (China prefers yuan, but Taiwan calls it dollar).

I forgot the size of it. The 5 yuan coin is nickel sized. Is the other Taiwan "5" coin brass or bronze?

I only do half dollars boxes. The foreign coins that I have found so far have been either Panama Balboa coins or the old large English penny coins. Updating my post: since than I have found 4 or 5 Ecuador 50 Centivos steel coins. I also found a 1862 Indian 1 Rupee silver coin with Queen Victoria wearing Indian clothes on it.

What does the Chinese coin look like?

I have found pesos, bahama coins, etc but the neatest one I've found so far is probably a United Arab Emirates coin. Found it in a MWR of halves.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

I know exactally what coin you're talking about, it really is a cool coin... multiple sides, correct?

That would seem about right.

 

[Generic_Lad]

So what roll were the pound coins in, they are about the right diameter to US coins but they are so thick! I'd imagine they'd be CWRs?

 

[goldencoin]

I found all of them in a $1000 quarter bag from an older coin counter...most of them were found in CWR

...
1988 Jamaica 50c 10-sided
...

1975 (first year of minting) Jamaica 50c myself tonight. That decagonal edge looks strange in a roll of halves.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

Jamaica has since changed their coinage, now $1 USD can buy you $87.45 JMD(Jaimaican Dollar)... they are cool coins though!
