$750 in dimes, and need ID on a foreign coin
Took my kids as leverage to squeak out some coin today. Just missed $1,000 in cwr dimes shipped out yesterday at one bank, but bought $500 at the next plus a String box and $130 in halves.
Halves were a bust (picken tellers), the dimes gave up 7 silvers.
Found a quarter-sized foreign in the reject bin when I dumped the halves.
Any ideas? I didn't Google it because I have no idea where to start.

Oops, it's just a Chinese Fen, went right to it when I did a search. Feels like aluminum, blech.

It is worth about $.15 in your condition.
1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.
