This will be the fourth forum in which I have started this thread. It has proven of interest in the other forums, and has had better than 40,000 hits in two different forums. Perhaps the Knights and Knightesses will also find it of interest. I'll start it off with a most interesting find today. We all realize that the Presidential Dollar won't circulate. However, one did today. While receiving change at the photo section of our WalMart store, I was given a Jefferson Dollar! BU. D mint.

Every week or so, my Wife empties her purse of coin and I go through to see if there are any decent oddities. Last night, I turned up a 1997 10 cent piece in good EF. These are listed at around $60 in UNC.

Got a 1933 George V cent yesterday. It stands out very easily since the reverse of all Canadian coins has been mostly the same since 1936. That's my oldest Canadian find in circulation, but I once got a 1926 wheat cent in change, so that remains my oldest find from circulation.

My oldest Canadian in change is also a 1933 cent. I come across GVI's from time to time, one about every month or so. Just the other day I got a 1953 QEII at the P.O. I just wish I could get the old 12 sided nickels in change still.

Got a shiny Bermuda cent in change yesterday. The pig where the maple leaves should be is what threw me off.

The most unusual British coin I have come across in circulation is the heptagonal 20 pence piece, masquerading as a nickel. I have even gotten Aussie 5¢ masquerading as dimes though.
Yesterday I did the 2500 cent box thang again for the first time in months. It steeeeuuuuunk.
CANADA GVI 1945 1950 QEII 1961 1962 X 2 1964
USA Wheats 1945 1951-D 1952-D
S- Mints 1969 1972 1973 1974 X 2
Far less wheats than the usual 10-12, but the couple of GVI cents helped since they are a bit tougher to find. So now the rejects go back and I will get another box from another bank, hopefully better.
