Well I had high hopes with these boxes after only being able to pick up a few rolls and loose halves here and there over the past few months but the skunk was all I found. That and a cruel funny money teaser. Lots of marked coins. Hope next week is better. Still thinking about where to dump the extra $1000 on top of the dimes and nickels I do. I rerolled them and I've got one TD bank that I've been dumping halves on but I don't think I want to hit them with that much.

Those 50 centavos from Ecuador sure do look pretty when you first see the rim.

First one I've come across. Are they common to find Arkie?

They are worth 50 cents in exchange, as Ecuador uses the US dollar now. They use US bills, but make their own coins that have the same value as US coins.

I haven't found many. 2 or 3 tops. I rarely find any foreign junk in my boxes. Might be different where you are.
