Had my strangest box of brinks dimes in the plastic rolls

First off there were 104 Canadian dimes

Then 3x 5 pence and these 3 other coins I don't know what they are

And

These 9 silver dimes

104 canadians!? thats nuts at least you found 9 silvers because you lost over 11$ in foreign coin.
 
The top copper coin is a 1 Euro coin from Germany (copper plated steel)
The one under that is a 1 pfennig from Germany (I also think its copper plated steel)
And under that is a coin from Finland (Can't make out the denomination, its modern so not precious)
 
Killed today my friend. Last 300 in dimes I've done have been all 2013. Crazy how many from the great white north. Do a quick Google search there is a few Canadian errors worth a buck or two
 
Can you imagine finding 25 - 50 Canadians in an average US box? That's what I get. I used to cash the Canadians in at the CU, but I've accumulated a lot of rolls lately, quarters too

I see a silver sailboat in your dimes - what year?

I actually just 10 Canadian dimes in 2 boxes. That is an all time high for me, but I have to say: your total is quite something.

Would say my average is 10 or less as well that's why this is so strange. They also were all really dirty with what almost seemed like graphite powder all over them
 
Back when I lived in upstate NY I used to pull Canadian coins like crazy. I ended up spending them a few at a time and all-in-all people weren't upset to take them. They're really common where I was.

I was lucky enough to pull a silver Canadian dime once, too! Those are always neat finds.
 
that's a nice amount of silver!
I barley ever see Canadians in my boxes unless they are CWR(then I see 4-5 per every 100 dollars)
 
That's about a break-even box with all them foreign finds, but congrats!

The first one is a 1 euro CENT, not a 1 euro. The Finnish coin is a 1 penni, made of aluminum, worth a few cents.
