What is the most common foreign coin you find CRH ?

[FL Junkman]

Just wondering what you find most common in the way of foreign coins when CRH'ing. From my experience, it is the Medio Balboa from the Republic of Panama. But I have only found one that was silver. (90%) Your experience is welcomed.

Canadian dimes. Average about 1 per roll. Did get about 20 silver ones this year.

Canadian cents.

Shouldn't the answer be Canadian? I find Canadian cents all the time in pennies. In dimes, it's Canadian dime or British 5 Pence. In halves, it's British large Penny. I've only gotten one Balboa to this date.

canadian pennies, get around 50 a box.

Canadian pennies, of course. For me in Michigan, it is an average of 2% Canadian pennies (1 per roll). Non-Canadian, British 5 pence by far

In Panama, US currency and Panama money are interchangeable. Some people bring back Panama coins in their pockets. So it is not strange that we can find them here.

I found:

1x1930;(90% silver)
1x1934;(90% silver)
2x1966;(40% silver)
1x1968;(40% silver)
1x1979;
1x1982;
1x1983;
1x1986;
1x2008;

That's because the U.S. mint manufactured Panama coins for a while.. don't think they do it anymore.

While I do find a few Canadians now and then, I do get my fair share of Mexican Pesos.

Go figure.

Out of Half dollar boxes it's a toss up between Irish punts and Brit pennies. With dime boxes I get a ridiculous amount of Canadian.

Must be a Texas thing..i think i have gotten only 2 or 3 Canadians coins out of 10 plus boxes of cents..My common is the Diaz Pesos from Mexico..I get at least one in each box of halves

Just a couple of hours away from Canada means lots of sailboat dimes.

 

[gotgot]

Pennies = Canadian
Nickles = its really a tie..Canadian and Bermuda. The Mexico 1 peso is a close runner up
Dimes = O, Canada!
Halves = Medio Balboa

 

[CHAINCHOMP]
