[GMan00001]

stopped by one of my normal Tuesday stops today hoping they had a bag of dimes. They didn't, but they did have
1 - $200 bag of nickels and
2 - $50 bags of pennies

so I took those instead. The dimes are close.

Did the bag of nickels. Pretty good bag
1 - 1939-D
1 - 1943-P War Nickel
1 - 1943-S War Nickel
1 - 1945-D War Nickel

3 Foreign (Ireland, 5 Euro Cent (2002), Trinidad and Tobago, 5 Cents (2003), 1 unknown country/date)

The unknown country/date coin I'll get a picture in the next few days. Has a cow on one side and mountains on the other with writing I can't read. Really light, probably aluminum. Oh and the date appears to be 2026. I am guessing somewhere in southeast Asia/middle east region of the world, but I haven't found it yet.

Sounds like Nepal. Is this it?

If yours is dated "2026" than it's 1969.

Great find!

That's the coin.
Very nice Immy!! Without even a picture.

Kinda hard to read the date, so the 2026 is a partial guess...I'll have to look closer when I get home.

I almost described it as..."It looks likes its from a mountainous region near India." But choose to be more broad as to not eliminate some other possibilities. Originally I was thinking Tibet...I was close.
