Found a Zambian ngwee in the Coinstar (with photos)

[JunkLover]

I make it a point to check out the reject slots on any Coinstar machines I come across, and today is the first time I found something in one of them that wasn't a Canadian coin.

A Zambian ngwee isn't worth very much, from what I've gathered (less than $1 USD), but I'd love to know how an African coin found its way to a little podunk Pennsylvania town. So nothing of tremendous value, but I just thought it was a neat little find, and I can now say I have something more exotic in my coin collection than a Canadian quarter.

Always raid Coinstar machines! You never know what goodies people leave behind in the reject bin.

I have found coins from various countries around the world in Coinstar bins. Granted, nothing as obscure as Zambia. Today it was Costa Rica.

Good freakin idea I never thought of that! Coinstar I will be checking them!

Probably a tourist brought it back home.
