I have found foreign cons now from 63 countries while CRH!!

[jrf30]

I have the complete list, but TN doesn't seem to want to accept the format. So I"ll put just the names here. Bear with me as you need to scroll to get to the next name (especially after Canada, to get to Cayman Islands). If someone wants to know what I have found for a specific country, ask and I'll post it. I can do small amounts of the list.

And one of my Malaysia coins is an error coin, missing the security edging. (Sorta like our Washington dollars not having the edging lettering for in God we trust) Lots of countries though. And I have found SILVER from SEVEN Countires other than America. That list is at the bottom. :-) that surprised me. Silver from seven foreign countries. That's from lots of searching, since 2007.

bucket list goal for you : visit all the countries still in existence, and spend the coinage at each one.

Actually 1 of my goal with my CRH findings is to vacation in Canada. So far after a year plus , I hv approx. $200 CAN in change. An. European trip would be preferred, but that will take a bit quite a bit longer due to my measly Euro currency findings.

Hey JRF, you may allready know this ( I just recently found out), but, the banks just toss the foreign coins in the trash, I started asking some of my branches about what they do with their foreigns and they said they throw it out, I asked if they would save it for me and the ones I asked said yes, and every week when I go in to dump they give me what they saved, hasn't been much yet, but every little bit counts, and is free! HH, Maverick.

Most are kept by magnets, and silver is non-magnetic.

All the countries but the Netherlands Antilles still exist. However, many of the coins are probably no longer used due to inflation or simply are old.

That's a pretty good haul! I seem to find either a foreign coin or token about every time I go metal detecting, but don't think I have quite the diversity you have--at least, not yet.
