Tokens and Foreign

[CC-Hunter]

Been in a bad skunk streak lately. No silver so far in March. Was dumping halves today and the coin machine shot a one euro coin out of the reject tray. Looked over and noticed more coins in the trash can next to the machine. Although I may have looked like a bum, I dug out a bunch of the coins. Unfortunately, a lot of them were "no cash value" tokens (anyone heard of Jungle Rapids?). In addition to the euro, scores some UK pennies and some Asian and other European that I have to check out. Not much of a haul, but enough to lift my spirits a bit.

If this is the coin (below) then take a look at Jungle Rapids Token and the parks site is at Jungle Rapids Wilmington N.C....

Thanks! That's it. Got tons of them now. Maybe I'll go there some time and see if the tokens are good for anything.

As far as foreign:

- A British 2 pence (bronze)- $0.05 in copper melt value (illegal in the UK)
- A British 1 penny (plated steel)- $0.02 in exchange
- A British 2 pence (plated steel)- $0.03 in exchange
- A Russian 10 kopecks- What year?
- 2x Russian 2 roubles- $0.07 in exchange (each)
- A Hong Kong 50 cents?- What year?
- A Thailand 10 baht- $0.34 in exchange (if it is 1988 or 1990, it is worth a couple thousand dollars)
- A Japanese 1 yen- $0.01 in exchange
- A Japanese 10 yen- What year?
- A 1 euro coin- Which country?



For Japanese 10 yen dates:

Numbers are below the denomination, first two characters designate emperor, next are date. Read from left to right. Tell me which numbers you see, and I will give you a date.



For Thai dates:

Then subtract 543 from the date to get our date.

Thanks Sag.

Here's the info:

- Russian 10 kopeks: 1999
- Russian 2 roubles: both 1997
- HK 50 cents: 1980
- Thai 10 baht: looks like 1996
- Japanese 10 yen: I think it's Heisei era (since '89), "5" "year".
- euro: Spain

Sag-

On the Euro's country's origin, is there any difference? I thought an Euro is an Euro...

It would only be a difference for Vatican City or Monaco, which are strictly NIFC, and carry some significant premiums.
