6 rolls of pennies... hand rolled.... thought I might get lucky.

Found:

1959
1944


And..... same color... just a tad bigger than a penny.... a 1 Penny from somewhere else. No country specified. Can someone help?

Bust is of Elizabeth II, and other wording on front is D.G. Reg. F. D. 1989
Back is a picture of a crown, with a fence below the crown and two chain links running down the two sides.
Any idea? Not old, and i'm sure worthless, just neat to find mixed in.

That's a British penny you've got there. The item below the crown is a "portcullis," an entrance barrier common in castles. WTG on the wheats!
 

Immy, you are quite the informed numismat... uh, numermis.... uh, well, coin collector. Thanks for bringing your expertise to the forum.

Thank you Immy! I thought it was British... but didn't think they had cents... just pounds/chillilngs and pence.

Thank you.
 

The Brittish Pennys that I have found are copper and the size of our half dollars. Which is where I found them roll hunting halves.

Glad to help! My mini library of coin reference books comes in handy too.
